2008 Field Trips

17th Aug	Field Meeting	"Lound"- 07:30 at the Loyal Trooper. This is magical place and on our doorstep, lying in the Idle Valley it's a corridor for migration. The impressive species list exemplified this. A good mix of woodland, scrub and water.
21st Sep	Field Meeting	"Twitchers Day"- 07:00 at the Loyal Trooper, with migration in full swing we are not sure where we will end up. Most likely the east coast, unless something special turns up!
