A small but beautifully formed group of enthusiasts set off on a stroll to Brackenfield with the weather dependent option of extending the walk to the River Amber and around the reservoir.
The pace was very much on the slow side of ‘plodding’ so the extended option wasn’t called upon. As usual this time of year, ‘it’s quiet out there’ but everyone enjoyed the summer stroll and we managed a total of 36 species.
