The Ogston Monthly Bird Report for the month of December has now been added to the website.

The report can be found on the Bird Report Index pages.

Next Saturday, 4th January is the first Saturday of the Month Ogston guided bird walk. Meet at 9:30 am in the West Bank Car Park, all welcome.

Please wear good walking shoes or boots and clothes appropriate for the weather; it can be very cold and wet at Ogston this time of the year. Dogs are allowed if kept on a lead and are well behaved.

Please bring binoculars if you have them. We aim to return to the Car Park between 12 noon and 12:30pm however this can be earlier if the weather is bad.

In case of bad weather please check this website to see if the walk is still on.

Can we just remind everyone, the black plastic trays on the shelves in the Sue Worsey hide are there to catch the rain that gets in through the windows during spells of really wet and windy weather. Please do not move them.

As we’ve had a lot of bad weather over the last few weeks, the hide floor and a couple of the benches are quite wet where the trays have been moved and not replaced. They are there for a reason. If the trays have water in them and you’re in the hide, could you please empty them outside.

The Ogston Website Team would like to take this opportunity to say a big thank-you to all who take the time to view the Ogston Bird Club website. Without your welcome support we could not have continued to grow and manage the following we now enjoy.

We wish all who view the site a Very Merry Christmas and a really Happy New Year. We hope the birders among you get lots of new ticks on your lists and that all the many photographers get that really special image they’re always looking for.

Sorry to keep going on about e-mail addresses but all members should be advised that if they have changed their e-mail address since joining the Ogston Bird Club they should let the club’s Membership Secretary have their new details.
