Hello
The July meeting for the club is traditionally an outdoor field meeting and we start at 7pm this coming Wednesday (3rd).
The plan is to meet at the Old Walgrave Road at Pitsford Reservoir which is found off the minor road between the villages of Holcot and Walgrave. Here we will park our vehicles on some hard standing next to a barn and take a trailer ride down to the Walgrave Bay of Pitsford Reservoir. There will be cones/signs on the Holcot - Walgrave road indicating the turn.
The plan is to then walk down towards the back of the bay, perhaps making it as far as some small ponds which tend to be good for invertebrates. The usual refreshments will be on-site, perhaps using the Walgrave Hide as our base for hot drinks and coffee! After a couple of hours or so we will take a ride back up to the parked vehicles. We hope to see birds, insects and have an opportunity of speaking with Sarah Gibbs (senior reserve warden) about some of the woodland management and wildlife improvement plans for the site.
The weather forecast currently looks good so it should be a pleasant evening walk! All welcome!
