Bird Watching

Contact: Robert Mantle – see Newsletter for contact details or
Email:   with “Bird Watching enquiry” as the subject

We are a friendly group that welcomes new members.  You do not need knowledge of birds to join; a pair of binoculars would help.  Usually one of us will have a telescope which will be shared with the group.

Unless otherwise specified, meetings will start at 09:15 usually on the 4th Thursday of the month. Please arrive a little earlier so you can get kitted up in time to move off at the specified time

The group organises birdwatching activities, mostly half day trips. Anyone interested in joining us and learning more about bird life is welcome.
The group visits varied sites in the North West.

Group Report for 2024

We have visited a variety of habitats throughout the year. Usually meetings continue until early afternoon and people bring lunch.  The group has visited various sites in the North West sharing cars to get to our destination although, if you want you can meet us at the destination.

We meet all through the year except for July and August.
