Birding Group Visit to Blacktoft Sands and North Cave 6th June 2017
The first birding group outing of June was an overnight visit to Yorkshire taking in RSPB Blacktoft Sands and North Cave on the 6th and RSPB Benpton Cliffs on the 7th.

Leighton Moss RSPB Birding Group 16th May 2017
After our holiday in Suffolk and Norfolk, this was the first birding group we could make in May. In fact there were only half of us there because of various holidays.
