We as a club are attempting to see as many species as possible on Sunday 18th May. There will be club members at the Chainbridge Scrape East viewpoint throughout the day with binoculars and telescopes to use. There is also a bird walk organised around part of the reserve starting at 9.00am from the viewpoint. Please come along and participate in the event, whether you can attend for an hour or a few hours. It will be good to meet new prospective club members.
