Bird Watching

This group goes birdwatching together once a month, usually somewhere in Hampshire. We aim to remain fairly small, with a maximum number of about eight on each trip. Everyone is welcome, from beginners to experts. The leader is not an expert, but has been birdwatching in Hampshire for a long time and knows the best places. You will need your own binoculars, and walking boots or wellies.

We have made a start, and we have been on several trips. Due to the weather, we have mainly been going to bird reserves with hides. From these we have seen many beautiful wintering ducks and geese, and a fabulous view of a kingfisher. We hope to go to a wider range of places in the next few months. The best birdwatching sites involve a considerable drive from Winchester, but we have been able to share lifts.
We would be delighted to recruit more members: please contact Charlotte Farmer at farmers@phonecoop.coop, or on 01962 883583.
