Brandon Marsh, Warwickshire

This is a Warwickshire Wildlife Trust Reserve just outside Coventry that has a mixture of pools and reedbeds. See Link on this Home page. Hopefully a selection of wildfowl and winter thrushes can be expected. There is free entry for members of wildlife trusts, otherwise there is an entrance fee of £4.50 (£3.50 for concessions) There is a good on-site cafe.

Meet in Shelbourne Road near Dean Close School (SO929215 or postcode GL51 6HE) at 0800 to sort car sharing, or meet 0915 at the venue.

For all meetings it is very useful to know if you intend coming in case of last minute changes and to try and sort out car sharing especially for those trips at some distance to Cheltenham. Please use the new email for this – fieldtrips.cheltenhambirdclub@gmail.com  Local trips are usually ‘long’mornings with more distant sites being all day. Bring food and drink to suit. None of these sites are especially hard walking but obviously inclement weather is always possible – be prepared. On the day if necessary, contact either John Casswell 07771960210 or Pam Riggs 07769040626
