Bird Watching Group*
Organiser: Carol Gatenby and Anne Wynn
Meeting |
The group has relatively local weekday monthly outings with periodic weekday trips further afield. On a lovely sunny day, four of us visited Tittesworth Reservoir. Although the water levels were low we saw a good selection of birds. Whilst in one of the hides we received an unexpected visit from Peter Kirk. It was a lovely surprise, quite like old times. He has a new dog and was telling us that the water levels are similar to that expected for mid summer and that parts of it may dry up. Next month we have decided to revisit Pennington Flash. This will be on Wednesday June 18th. Please put the date in your diaries and hope that the hides aren't flooded this year. List of birds seen/heard at Tittesworth. Song thrush, Wren, Chaffinch, Chiff Chaff, Wood pigeon, Pigeon, Pied Wagtail, Willow warbler, Garden warbler, Goldfinch, Blackbird, Blackcap, Great tit, Robin, Heron, Little ringed plover, Cormorant, Lapwing, Canada geese, mallard, Oyster catcher, Common tern, Moorhen with chicks. We look forward to seeing you in June. Anne and Carol * This group is currently open to members of u3as in the North East Cheshire Network.
