Description: Catcott: (11:15 – 13:45) We will initially spend time at the main hide but will then walk around to a second hide. There should be a wide variety of ducks and waders present. Birds of prey may also be viewable. Please bring a picnic lunch. Stout/waterproof footwear needed.
A 20-minute drive will take us on to Secret World.
Secret World: (14:30) A talk will be given about the work that is carried out at this wildlife rescue centre. A small charge will be collected (donation). Note that we will not be viewing any of the animals (for their well-being).

Please book with Andrew Harrison in advance using the text conact above. Members can find contact details in their Autumn/Winter 2025-26 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.
