A friendly group of individuals who are not experts but who enjoy the challenge of identifying different birds.

The Birdwatching group has a large membership and meetings are well-attended.  We try to meet on a different day each month (but usually not on a Friday) so that members are not excluded because of prior commitments on a particular day of the week.  Details of the next meeting are sent out well in advance by email to all members and then a reply by email secures your place.  However, for visits to sites like RSPB reserves and Trimley Marshes, numbers are capped at 15 so a prompt reply is needed if you wish to secure a place (places are allocated on a strictly 'first come, first served' basis).  Apart from Hollesley Common, meetings are usually just in the morning but, if there is sufficient demand for somewhere like Minsmere, then it is usually possible to run an afternoon session as well.

Places we have visited include Minsmere, Hollesley Common, Trimley Marshes, Thorpeness, Hollesley Marshes, Levington Creek, Lackford Lakes and Havergate Island.  Bird sightings at our meetings have included White-tailed Eagle, Spoonbill, Cattle Egret, Bittern, Nightjar, Stone Curlew and Wood, Green and Curlew Sandpipers as well as numerous commoner species.

Please feel free to get in touch if you are interested in joining the group.
