We are always happy to welcome new members. None of us claim to be experts but try to puzzle our way to the names of the organisms we find. If you are interested in joining us or want more information please contact us. We usually meet at the Co-op car park, Church Road, New Mills at 10 am. The number on walks is limited only by having enough seats in cars. Attendance varies with members’ diaries, inclinations and the weather (we are sensible people, not masochists). Come and join us. There's no limit to the number on the mailing list. |

NEXT VISITWednesday 8 May - Stanage Edge and Padley GorgeIn search of the Ring Ouzel, Pied and Spotted Flycatchers! Our next visit will be to Stanage Edge where Ring Ouzels nest though we may change it to Curbar edge depending where the best sightings are being reported. We will then move on to the Longshaw Estate which provides an opportunity to seek Pied and Spotted Flycatchers, both of which nest in Padley Gorge. While we usually see the pied variety, the spotted flycatchers often prove more elusive. There will be other moorland and woodland species to see and many more wildflowers to view as spring progresses. Please meet at the Coop car park for a 10.00am start and let Fred and Dave know if you are attending. |
