CBC Meeting Schedule for 2024/25 commences in September
** TUESDAY, 17 SEPTEMBER ** – Talk: Extramadura. Steve Lovell explores this distinctive unspoiled region with its natural beauty and wealth of fabulous wildlife and spectacular birds.
** SUNDAY, 6 OCTOBER ** – Club trip to the ever-popular and productive Frampton Marsh; arrive at the visitor centre 10.30am. Contact Chris Lamb (see details at the end of the newsletter) if you wish to come along. It’ll be a convoy of cars, and a lift could be available for those not wishing to drive.
** TUESDAY, 15 OCTOBER ** – Talk: Reintroducing the Osprey. Simon Curtin describes this outstanding UK conservation success story, also describing its reproductive, feeding and migratory behaviour.
** SUNDAY, 17 NOVEMBER ** – Local Club trip to Willington, the DWT reserve that usually has plenty on display, often including a rarity or two. Again, contact Chris Lamb if you’re interested in going.
** TUESDAY, 19 NOVEMBER ** – Talk: Kruger National Park. David Tolliday will detail the range of mammals, birds, insects and people who live in South Africa’s largest wildlife sanctuary.
– First Sunday of the month – Birdwatching for Beginners – Meet Visitor Centre (10am-12 noon)
Please Note:
Almost invariably held on the first Sunday of the month (meet in the courtyard at 10am – but please book with reception if you intend to come).
For Severn Trent’s spring programme, it’s often sensible to book a place with the visitor centre (on 01629 540696).
