Field Trips 2008

Stout footwear, warm clothing and packed lunches are recommended for the field outings, which will be joint outings with the Lancaster RSPB Members' Group. All the full day field trips will be led by John Bateman. If you need transport to any of the outings, please contact Eileen Harrison on 01524 412349. She will try to arrange a lift provided she is given at least a week's notice. All are welcome, especially new or inexperienced bird-watchers.

Coach Trips

Please note that coach trips can only be arranged successfully if sufficient numbers are booked at least six weeks before the date of the trip. Booking forms can be obtained from Eileen Harrison at LDBWS meetings and should be completed and returned to Eileen as soon as possible, together with a deposit of £10 per person. Coach outings usually depart from Dalton Square, Lancaster at 8am and should return by 8pm at the latest. If there is doubt as to whether the meeting will be held due to weather conditions please ring (01524) 841347 the night prior, before 9pm. The leader has discretion to cancel the meeting in the event of inclement weather.

Thanks go to James Shepherd for today's header photo of Cotestones. If you have a suitable picture of a local birding spot, why not send it to the webmaster, at andymccafferty@gmail.com? I need to resize (and if necessary crop) pictures to make them 600x130 pixels, so ideally send it at that size (definitely not smaller).
