Trip to Martin Mere

Location: Meet at B&Q, Bidston at 8.30 am

Back by very popular demand this is a 'must' trip for everyone. Expect to see 3 species of swan, 4 species of goose, 5 species of bird of prey, loads of ducks, Tree Sparrow and a good chance of Kingfisher. All of this within an area where no hide is further than a couple of hundred of yards away along well made paths. Add to this the fact that some of the hides are heated and there really is no excuse for anyone not to come along! There is a shop for that last Christmas present and, of course, the restaurant serving good home made food.

Time: 8.30 am to dusk

Price: Entry fee to Martin Mere unless a member of WWT.

Illustrated talk entitled 'A Tanzanian Journey' by Val McFarland

Location: Bromborough Civic Centre, Allport Lane, Bromborough

Val really doesn't need any introduction. She is a hugely popular speaker with many years experience behind her. Val has led many trips to far flung areas of the world, always with her camera and an eye on the possibility of a talk. Her lecturing style is intimate yet packed with useful titbits. Val's knowledge of birds is breathtaking and you will certainly come away knowing more than you did at the start of the talk. Val talks tonight about a trip through the various habitats of Tanzania, an eastern Africa country, bordering the Indian Ocean between Kenya and Mozambique and is bound to be a great way to finish off 2009.

Time: 7.30 pm to 9.30 pm

Price: Free to local group members and £3 for visitors

Trip to Inner Marsh Farm Reserve

Location: Meet at the Reserve car Park at 9.00 am

We hope to be the first group to visit the 'new' extended reserve at IMF. We will be led on a guided walk around the reserve to see first hand the exciting developments that will have taken place during 2009 that Colin Wells (the reserve Manager) will have spoken about in his talk to the group in May. It will be a wonderful opportunity to visit 'our' reserve and show our support and appreciation to Colin and his staff for all that they have done over the years. In winter the reserve holds many hundreds of ducks, geese and Black-tailed Godwit. What a wonderful way to end the year.

Time: 9.00 am onwards

Price: Free to RSPB members

Booking essential
