Sunday 17 September 2023; 9.30am, Steart Marshes, Bridgwater Bay, Somerset. Leader: David Wall.
A return visit to this location following the extensive flood management work by the Environment Agency, only completed in autumn 2014. A new and extensive area of saltmarsh and freshwater wetlands has been created, complete with hides and walkways, and this is now managed by the Wildfowl and Wetland Trust. We should at this time of the year see a wide variety of waders, wildfowl and passerines.
All day meeting so lunch should be brought.
Members will have received the mobile number of the leader and details of the meeting place in the Field Trips leaflet which went out with the Winter edition of WOS News. These details will also be given in the monthly email which is sent to those members who have signed up to receive emails at the beginning of the month in which the trip will be held.
The attention of members is drawn to the fact that WOS accepts no liability for damages or personal injury occurring during its activities. Please note that dogs should not be brought to meetings.
WOS seeks to encourage car sharing, so members may wish to liaise prior to meetings to try and reduce car usage.
Field trips and indoor meetings are rarely cancelled based on weather forecasts of inclement conditions as they can be wrong. However, in the event of cancellation, a notice will be posted on the website under Newsflash. Members may also check by telephoning the leader, see above.
