2021 - 8th Year of Surveys at Medmerry- will the coronovirus let these happen???
We have arranged the survey dates as below, but any surveys will be subject to the COVID restrictions prevailing at the time. We have added a number of extra dates to cater for poor weather or repeat surveys if only small groups are allowed.
See Field Reports for results of 2020 surveys.
ALL surveys (approx. 2 hours in length) will start at 13:00 PROMPT, meeting at the RSPB Earnley Car Park at Grid Ref SZ 816 968, post code PO20 7JL, and then car sharing to appropriate Survey Site. (Little walking required on any date.) See Main Events List for more information. Sessions are open to all, no matter what your level of expertise, as guidance will be provided. We shall use the Society’s equipment but hand magnifiers, binoculars and reference books will always be useful. Any questions or if help required with transport then please contact Philippa Arnott on philippa.arnott@uwclub.net or phone 01243 575345
