Hello
On the evening of Wednesday 3rd July the Northants Bird Club will be holding an outside meeting at Pitsford Reservoir, this time reconnoitering the Walgrave Bay. We plan to meet and park vehicles at 7pm on a farm barn hard standing at the top of the Old Walgrave Road off the minor road from Holcot to Walgrave. From here we will be transported down the old road to the Walgrave Bay and will walk to the back of the bay (probably as far as some small ponds constructed four years ago). It is hoped to have some hot drinks and refreshments on-site, in all probability in the Walgrave Hide.
Sarah Gibbs, the senior reserve warden will be on hand to explain some of the management plans and techniques utilised on the site for the benefit of wildlife, particularly associated with the blocks of woodland. Currently there is no plan to use the Fishing Lodge (unless it is forecast as a wet night!). Following our walk we will be transported back up the old road to our vehicles. This is an opportunity to see some of the lesser well known areas of the reserve and we will be focusing on the birds, insects and trees.
Everyone is welcome!
