There’s a local field trip to Lavernock on Thursday next week, 7th September. Basically we’ll be looking for migrants although I’m worried that a lot seem to be moving this weekend!

Start time will be 8:30 a.m. but the meet point will be decided when I know how many are coming. There is now limited parking down by the church at Lavernock Point as the gated parking area there has been closed off for some years. There is some space by the church and just beyond, and also by the roadside by the entrance gate to the WT reserve, but it’s a popular location, and will be well used as the weather is going to be fine.

If there are a lot of takers it might be necessary to park at Cosmeston [parking charges apply] and to walk out to the coastal fields via the farm track opposite Cosmeston.

Let me know if you intend coming as soon as poss to give me time to decide on a course of action. There are various options, including parts of Cosmeston which have been productive recently.
