Focus: Later summer Butterflies, varied Moths, Dragonflies and Birds. We will specifically be looking for Brown, Purple and White-letter Hairstreaks.
Description: Steep slope down to the reserve from the car park, but easy going after that. Can get hot in the hollow, so plenty of liquids are required, plus lunch.

Please book with the Leader in advance. Members can find contact details in their Spring/Summer 2026 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.
