u3a Lostwithiel Birdwatching Calendar Sept 2023 - August 2024

The calendar below is the proposed calendar for our next season of bird field trips. Though primarily we are a bird watching group we do in reality take an interest in all wildlife we come across from mammals, insects and butterflies to plants and fungi.

You do not need to be an expert, all are welcome and if you enjoy photography do bring your camera.

This calendar can be subject to change depending on weather and local conditions. Always check the web site beforehand and emails for details, usually a couple of weeks prior to event. If unsure please email one of the group contacts.

 

                                 

Hi all,

 
Our trip to Looe Island on May the 1st  was a great success with 14 attending and we enjoyed some dry pleasant weather. We had 2 hours on the island warmly greeted by John and Claire the wardens who armed us with guides telling us about the island and its history. Jasmina and Adrian know the island well and took two groups around. We saw some 19 birds and 6 grey seals. Afterwards we had lunch at Hannafore and walked some way along the coast path.
Our next trip is on Tuesday 11th June to Breney Common. Chris and Nuala are organising and all details are in the field trip details. They have kindly offered us back to their place in Sweetshouse afterwards where there is plenty of parking.
Hope to see you there
Jasmina
