Last year we were very pleased that with appropriate COVID-safe procedures we were able to enjoy at least some of the Field Trips we had planned. Accounts of these and of the ideas and the DIY trips that we suggested, can be found on the FieldTrips/Whatyoumissed page.
We had some lovely and quite exciting times. Let us hope that this year we will be able to enjoy the few we missed this year, and also many other field trips to places where we can observe wildlife in all its glory and fascination.
THIS YEAR'S PROGRAMME OF FIELD TRIPS IS AS FOLLOWS Details will be published nearer the time, but if you would like further information at this stage, please contact the organiser.
