It will probably not come as a surprise to you to know what I have today announced that I do not intend continuing to run the Allestree Library Birding club after 31st December 2024. We haver therefore held our last bird watching walk.
Despite some publicity, and much help from Images magazine, we have only attracted one extra birder since day one in 2022 and the time and effort does not warrant continuing.
We have had some enjoyable and memorable walks, and our species count was 95, sadly just short of the ton. Most walks had something special, and I can recall Cuckoo, Red Kite, Nightjar, Woodcock, Marsh Tit and Sparrowhawk to name a few.
I will put anything of interest on this site, for the benefit of any birders who want to follow it. With some changes in the library operation in the near future in 2025, a different person at the helm may want to start up the club again, maybe at a better time.
I wish you much enjoyment in continuous bird watching, and I hope that your knowledge has expanded from the walks that we have enjoyed in the last 3 years.
Happy Birding
David Bennett
