Weeting Heath NWT 8th May, 2012
Weeting Heath NWT 8th May, 2012 Most of the 7th and 8th May were spent visiting friends for a 60th birthday party in Bury St Edmunds. We stayed at The Angel which was a fantastic, if a little pricey, hotel and definitely the place to stay if we go there again. While we were in Bury St Edmunds we did go for a longish walk…

Birding Group Visit to Neumann’s Flash and Haydn’s Pool 17th April 2012 The weather for the first morning of the new “term” for the birding group did not seem that auspicious to start with as it was raining from early morning.

Day Out to WWT Barnes 11th April 2012
Day Out to WWT Barnes 11th April 2012 While we were in London visiting relatives it seemed like a good chance to go out to Barnes to the Wetland Centre. I had only been once before and was keen to have a second look. It was a lovely, sunny day with just hints that it might rain occasionally but this had its downside as well…
