At Hampton Bishop, fieldfare, redwing, grey heron and goosander were spotted; at Slimbridge there were waders, ducks and numerous wetland birds; beautiful mandarin ducks were evident at Nagshead Nature Reserve in the forest; red kites were being fed at Gilfach; Newport's RSPB Reserve produced cormorants and little egrets, while nearer home at Upton there were snipe, lapwings and woodpeckers.  Too many lovely birds have been seen to name in full, and anybody who would wish to share the joy of bird watching is most welcome to join the group.

 

Bird Watching

 

We meet on the 4th Thursday of each month.

 

The group visits interesting areas and nature reserves at the best time of year to see a wide range of birds.  With the group co-ordinator's expertise and each other's help, the less knowledgeable are able to learn about the birds seen. We have visited Slimbridge, The Forest of Dean (Cannop Ponds and The Nagshead Nature Reserve), Bodenham and Wellington, The River Wye at Holme Lacey and Upton Warren.
