New members always welcome, email group leader Sheila Crawley.
In the winter our trips mainly focus on birds and in the summer wildflowers. We have an annual trip which involves an overnight stay, the next one will be North Wales including RSPB South Stack on Anglesey in June.
in 2025 for the first time 6 members of the group went to Tarifa, the narrowest northern point of the Straits of Gibraltar, to observe the amazing migration from Europe to Africa. 2026 sees us in north Majorca in September.
