Bird Watching Group*
Organiser: Carol Gatenby and Anne Wynn
Meeting |
The group has relatively local weekday monthly outings with periodic weekday trips further afield. Four of us enjoyed a visit to sunny Pennington Flash last Wednesday. Many thanks to Julie for the lovely photos. The next outing is to Redesmere on Thursday 10th July. As usual we will meet at Carol's at 9.30am and drive from there. We are aware of the lack of facilities at Redesmere but are considering taking a packed lunch and sitting on the grass. Of course, all this is weather dependent Please let either Anne or Carol know whether or not you intend joining us. The same applies if you wish to make your own way to Redesmere. This is the list of birds seen on Wednesday. Canada Geese and Goslings, Mallard, Mute swan,Black-headed gull, young black-headed gull, Lesser black- backed gull, Common tern, Great Crested Grebe, Little Grebe, Coot, Moorhen, Cormorant, Egyptian Goose,Little Egret, Lapwing, Grey Heron, Greylag goose, Little Ringed Plover, Tufted duck, Gadwall, Woodpigeon, Stockdove, Great tit, Coal tit, Blue tit,Robin, Chiff-Chaff, Bullfinch,Kestrel, Blackbird, Dunnock, Magpie. Directions to Redesmere (SK11 9JR) It takes about 30 minutes from Poynton. Take the A34 towards Congleton following the Alderley by pass. Pass Capesthorne Hall on the right. The turning to Redesmere Lane is about one and a half miles on the left. Please park in the lay-by opposite the lake. We look forward to seeing you on July 10th.
