A heads up that the next field trip is Sat 23rd Sep, next week, to the Steart WWT reserve near Bridgwater. We’ll be hoping for passage waders in the main although anything is possible at this large reserve and the surrounding area. High tide is either side of midday. It’s about an hour and a half drive there so I suggest leaving at 8 a.m. to arrive in good time to give us a good amount of time to wander around and catch the tide rising.

Let me know by email if you intend coming [johndw1948 at gmail dot com], and also whether you wish to car share [I can take 3] and whether you are willing to drive & share yourself. If either, the depart time will be 8 a.m. from the St Margaret’s Road, Whitchurch location shown on the website [https://glamorganbirds.org.uk/gbc-events/].

The destination address is Stert Drove, Bridgwater TA5 2PU [ST252441].
