We meet on an occasional, seasonal basis to explore various nature reserves and habitats, usually in the Spring, Summer and Autumn.
These will be leisurely walks to help us enjoy and explore the countryside looking for flora and fauna, mostly self led, but we do have an "expert" on hand occasionally.
Please note, the walks are weather dependent and arranged at short notice. Those registered will be contacted accordingly.
On Wednesday 23rd of April, nine group members gathered primarily to view bluebells at their best. But there is more to a mature woodland than bluebells. Fourteen examples of early Summer flowers were spotted together with different lichen, ferns and fungi. An unusual ladybird was seen and wild bees proliferated. A cacophony of birdsong accompanied us on our walk. Amongst birds recognised by their song were blackcap, woodpecker, robin, wren, chiffchaff, pheasant and wood pigeon.
During the Summer we expect to hold a number of wildlife walkingevents to highlight nature. All will be weather dependent, as are we.
