Apologies for the short notice of this but we have been trying to sort out a leader due to my, and Alan’s unavailability. We are very grateful that Club member Daniel Jenkins-Jones has agreed to step in – his email is below.

The trip is on Sunday next, the 27th, and is to the R. Ely valley/floodplain area by Peterston super Ely. Green Sandpiper is the main target – it’s a nationally important site for the species. It can be very muddy so wellies or other waterproof footwear is recommended. Dipper and Kingfisher are also possible, plus other common species. Meet time is 9 a.m. and we envisage this to be a half day outing. Meet point is a layby just outside Peterston super Ely village itself, shown by the red ‘pin’ on the map below. It’s not far from the turn off towards Pendoylan at the traffic lights on the A48 just E of Bonvilston. If the layby is full there’s parking in the village just up the road.

If you intend coming please don’t contact me [I will be incommunicado] but email Daniel – his email is jenkinsjones@btinternet.com
