Birdwatching


Group Description :
We meet at locations which vary through the seasons depending on what wildlife is about. Whilst most of the sites we visit are fairly close to Peterborough, we do visit a few more distant sites up to about 35 miles away. Walks are sedate ambles at "birdwatching pace", none are particularly strenuous. Suitable clothing and footwear is essential for conditions on the day. You will need a pair of binoculars and a telescope will be useful at some of the larger sites. We are an informal, sociable group and beginners are welcome as well as experienced birders. Whilst we are mainly a birdwatching group, there are opportunities to see all other forms of flora and fauna.

Wednesday 1st Oct., Deeping Lakes

Meet at Deeping Lakes car park at 10:30am as usual.

Freiston Shore RSPB at 12:30 is off! Work is apparently going on currently to install sewage, build toilets and redo the car park. They are expecting deliveries of concrete on Wednesday. In addition, there are bulldozers working in the new scrapes. Given this degree of disturbance to the site and that we may not be able to use the car park, it does not seem worth the journey. Especially since it is not a particularly high tide that day anyway.
