Description: A slow stroll around the valley bottom looking for wildlife. During last year’s visit a Spotted Flycatcher, Purple Hairstreak, Golden-ringed Dragonfly, Ferruginious Bee-grabber, and Lesser Skullcap were all seen. This wonderful woodland is a rich area for wildlife and should interest ornithologists, lepidopterists, botanists and photographers. A picnic is recommended.
Please book with the Leader in advance. Members can find contact details in their Spring/Summer 2024 newsletter. This has several benefits for all meetings: the Leader is aware who is coming and can deal with any queries before the meeting (such as car-sharing, if required); in the unlikely event that arrangements need to change or the meeting has to be cancelled, attendees can all be contacted promptly and easily.
If you have booked but then are unable to attend, please contact the leader as soon as possible. The leader can then contact other members if there is a waiting list.
