EVERYONE WELCOME - Beginners, please come and join us. We like to share our enthusiasm and show you the Natural World so near to home. Car lifts can be arranged. If you have them, please bring binoculars. Leaders bring field guides to show you whatever it is we are looking at!

NATURAL HISTORY (Walks)

Please note that all walks will start at 10.30  Most walks will be easy walking, but stout walking shoes and waterproofs are advised . We usually take picnic lunches but some prefer local hostelries when handy.

The weather has caught up with us this autumn!! The October trip to Pagham Harbour had to be cancelled and the November visit to the RSPB Pulborough Brooks was very much of a damp squib. However, five of us paddled down to the first hide  to look for ducks - with so much water  they were mostly far away but we could pick up the large numbers of wigeon and teal as well as well as the elegant pintails. A pair of shoveller swept the surface of a pool only fifty yards away which allowed very good views of the smart drake. We also picked up the resident female peregrine in  a willow tree. Back to the restaurant for a very welcome bowl of soup!

 Friday  23^rd March  at 10.30 start

Our first outing in 2010 will be to Pagham at the inland end  looking for  returning migrants waders and small birds - wheatears should be arriving by now - weather permitting of course.!
