Cotswold Water Park

A walk around a number of the pits including the Cleeveland Reserve. Possible Cuckoo, many warblers, red crested pochard and several other species.

Meet at Waterhays Car Park at 9am. Map reference SU059933. What three words is meanders.swept.moats The car park is (was!!) a cash pay or by phone – not ideal if cash machine not working.
