Group Leader Ian Richards

Welcome to the Birdwatching Group

See Events below to find out about our visits and events

We have a wide variety of experience in our Group and we are always pleased to welcome new members whether they are new to birdwatching or old hands at the game.

We usually have a monthly programme visiting sites of interest both locally and further afield and have enjoyed a wide variety of birds seen. Our programme includes talks and visits, including local trips to Pennington Flash and Paddington Meadows as well as RSPB Burton Meres Wetlands, Martin Mere & other places of interest. See "links" below.

We sometimes try to arrange a short group holiday or an overnight stay to let us visit birdwatching sites that are further afield.

You will find us a friendly group who enjoy helping each other in bird identification and discovery.

You can get more information by telephone 01925-722407 or by visiting our table at a U3A monthly meeting. Alternatively you can join us on one of our visits. Just turn up and look lost. You will be welcome.

On your birdwatching visits bring your binoculars or a telescope if you can.

We look forward to welcoming you to our Group.
