Sadly due to a couple of cancellations for one reason another, the walk to a different birding site, Annersley Tip, last Friday on 5th July had to be aborted.
So ever the optimist, and as I will be in Devon for the first Friday in August the next walk will be on Friday 26th July when we are visiting one of my favourite birding sites, Attenborough Nature Reserve at Attenborough Gravel Pits. Post code is NG9 6DY.
For those wanting to share transport, I will be leaving 8 Braithwell Close at 9.30am and plan to be back there for 1.00pm. That gives us 2.5 hours at the Reserve.
To mark your cards now!!!, in September, we are going to try a full day trip, to RSPB Frampton Marsh on the east coast near Boston. Mike and I know this site well, and it has a number of hides, a visitor centre with facilities and a coffee machine!! It does take about 2 hours to get there, so I aim to leave Allestree at 8.30, getting back at about 5.30pm, and giving 5 hours around the site. A picnic lunch would make sense, as does sharing transport.
The date for Frampton Marsh is FRIDAY 6th September
Let's hope we DO meet up soon!!
David
