Hamilton Area Local Group RSPB
This is
your nearest RSPB Area Local Group to Baron’s Haugh.
Why not join us, usually on the 3rd Thurs. evening in each month? We
are a very open, friendly group and are all in the business of learning more
about birds and enjoying ourselves in the process.
Our
evening usually starts with a free-for all, with everyone chipping in whatever
interesting things they have seen. There is a main speaker – the topics varying
throughout the year. A sociable cup of tea is then followed by questions to the
speaker and we often finish the evening with a very basic look at some images
of species that we are possibly going to be watching locally.
There is a
series of Sun.
day-trips (following each Thurs.) by car or sometimes bus to good birding
areas. Once a year we extend this to a weekend away. Our members have many
varied interests including photography, rarity-finding, conservation work and
work on specific species. To be honest though, most folk just enjoy the
company.
The venue
is the Water Sports Centre of Strathclyde Country Park, Motherwell and our
programme is given below. Drop in and see us – you will be made very welcome.
