The Aims and Objects of all Bird Watching Groups are to provide opportunities to visit bird reserves and habitats, locally and elsewhere as a group, sometimes with local guides; to learn informally from each other (as well as from guides) how to identify different species.
We go to a variety of reserves both local and a little further afield. Places such as Attenborough, Langford Lowfields, Rufford, Besthorpe and Clumber. A little further are Potteric Carr, Whisby, Rutland Water and Brandon Marsh. We prefer not to travel too far in one day.
We do however, try to have an ‘away’ trip each year, travelling in own cars, with other group members, or by bus; with days planned to include time and facilities for lunch or refreshments. Dates and travel arrangements are agreed, after discussion, by phone or e-mail. We arrange our outings of different days of the week to enable everyone to work around their busy lives.
We enjoy all wildlife, not just birds, but butterflies, moths and of course wild flowers. We share our knowledge with each other so we all learn new things wherever we go.
