MEETINGS: Once or twice a month on various days to minimise recurrent clashes with members' other commitments.

We are always happy to welcome new members. None of us claim to be experts but try to puzzle our way to the names of the organisms we find. If you are interested in joining us or want more information please contact us.

We usually meet at the Co-op car park, Church Road, New Mills at 10 am. The number on walks is limited only by having enough seats in cars. Attendance varies with members’ diaries, inclinations and the weather (we are sensible people, not masochists).

Come and join us. There's no limit to the number on the mailing list.

Carsington Water

The reservoir is managed for wildlife by Severn Trent with help from Derbyshire Wildlife Trust. The area provides a wide variety of habitats from open water to mixed woodland, so there should be good numbers of birds and some early spring flowers. Alongside numerous waterfowl and waders, various gulls have been reported recently. It's also a place to see the rare willow tit if we are lucky.

Please meet at the New Mills Coop car park for a 10.00 am start.

Please let Fred and Dave know if you are attending.
