Bird Watching


Group Description :

Please note this year our meeting day is changed to the second Wednesday in the month. Our January meeting will be a lunch, usually at Highdown Hotel.

We visit local sites where we can watch and enjoy the bird life. It is a gentle 2 hour ramble with like-minded people to appreciate both the fauna and flora of our beautiful area. Our birdwatching rambles can take us to Pulborough Brooks, Arundel WWT, Warnham Nature Reserve (near Horsham) and other local spots on both the downs and the coast. Apart from the scenery, we've seen some lovely birds: from the tiniest goldcrest to the spectacular kingfisher. Because we’re out and about there's no upper limit on our numbers, so why not come and join us?
