November 26th, time to be confirmed, dependent on tide for winter wading birds (Holes Bay) Meeting point: Upton Country Park Car Park. No meeting in December. Birding field mornings will typically run for 2 hours. On occasions this may be adjusted, depending on the weather conditions or the opportunity to enhance our birding experience in avian hotspots. Field mornings will be inclusive and over varied terrain, such as flat footpaths, or more challenging rocky or undulating areas. This will ensure that members can choose field mornings that suit their specific activity and energy levels. Car sharing is encouraged or the use of public transport.
