Full details will be published in OOS Bulletins and announced at preceding indoor meetings, or contact the OOS Field Trip Secretary, Stephen Alley. Unless otherwise stated, outdoor events are free of charge and are open to non-members. Lifts to Outings - Can You Help? We frequently get requests from members without cars for lifts to field outings. It would be helpful to have a list of people from various areas and who fairly regularly attend field outings and who have spare car space which they could offer. If you could help in this way please let Stephen know. |

Next Outdoor Event
| Date | Details |
| 07/12/2008 (Sun) | Virginia Water, Surrey We will meet up for this birding walk at 10am in the Savill Gardens car park (charges apply) located on minor roads about 3/4 mile to the west of Englefield Green at OS ref SU977706. The area is forested with many fine old trees and a couple of lakes. It is a beautiful place with good paths so the walking should be fairly easy. The lakes are good for a variety of waterbirds and it is a known haunt of Mandarin ducks. The ancient woodland is good for Woodpeckers and Nuthatches etc. The hornbeams in the area attract Hawfinch although these are never easy to locate. Other specialities we may come across are Siskin, Redpoll and Brambling. All are welcome to attend and weather permitting you should enjoy a birding trip in beautiful surroundings. |
