field trip: Sunday, 22 March
Freiston Shore RSPB Reserve
For those who like a different leader, Roger Teasdale, will be leading this walk around the Freiston Shore RSPB reserve which is located on the west side of the Wash. Hopefully, this should be a good day for seeing the early returning waders. We will be meeting in the car park at the Freiston Shore RSPB Reserve (Grid Ref: TF398425) at 9:30. We are likely to stay at the reserve all morning.
In the afternoon for those interested, we will be visiting the RSPB Reserve at Frampton Marsh. The RSPB are developing this reserve in order to replace the brackish scrape at Titchwell which is in danger of being overwhelmed by lose of the dunes and increasing sea levels. The RSPB have purchased the arable fields behind the sea wall at Frampton Marsh and are converting it to scrapes and reed-filled ditches. They have also constructed hides on the reserve. Often when a new scrape is built it is extremely rich in invertebrates which attract good numbers of birds, especially waders. By March 2009 it is intended that these scrapes should be flooded and it could be an interesting opportunity to see a very new reserve being formed.
There are no refreshments or toilets at either site, so if you’re intending to visit both reserves please bring a packed lunch.
Leader: Roger Teasdale. For further information please ring 01780 756925

From the Dummer-See to the Camargue
with Nick Williams; an acclaimed photographer, lecturer, author and tour leader, who lives just north of Bourne. Those of you who remember Nick’s previous audio-visual presentation will no doubt be looking forward to his account of birding adventures in Europe.
Note a change of venue for this meeting only. Due to a round of the National Darts Championship being held at our usual venue this month we will be meeting nearby at The New England Club & Institute in Occupation Road, which runs between Lincoln Road and Bourges Boulevard.
