NB The programme lists the main sessions during the year, but there will be opportunities at other times to catch birds. This mainly applies during the winter period in respect of roost, daytime catches of pipits, etc.
1. Meeting will generally be at the Discovery Hut or main car park, except for cannon netting and at the Borrow Pit / Seaton Marsh (details for those nearer the time if necessary).
2. Start time will be announced close to the date and some sessions may extend (except for cannon-net catches) into early afternoon.
3. Dates may change with short notice depending on weather conditions, availability of experienced qualified ringers.
4. Non-members may attend sessions, but are requested to make a donation of £3.00 towards the costs of rings, etc.
If you would like to receive updates on exact dates, times & locations for sessions, including last minute changes, then please contact Ian or Sue on the details below & spend £10 for an annual membership!
