The Ogston bird walk on the 1 February was led by Paul Beard and there were 17 who joined the walk. The weather was bright and sunny a bonus as it has been such a wet winter with standing water in the fields and the reservoir water levels very high. We all met in the West Bank car par k and we walked down the West Bank to Brackenfield Church, we turned up Church Lane, across Brackenfield Green and down Millers Lane and back to the car park.
