FRIENDS OF WILDLIFE

SATURDAY MORNING WALKS

 Contact Heather Mills for details of current walks:
heather_walking@yahoo.com Tel:02392 668156

The walks take place every Saturday morning from 9.00 to 12.00 throughout the year and visit a variety of sites, generally within a ten mile radius of Havant. Attendance is usually around 10, with a range from 5 to 15. The emphasis is more on wildlife and less on walking. Progress tends to be fairly slow with lots of stops to study birds, flowers, insects, fungi, etc. Birds are of interest all year round, but in summer interest is mainly on flowers, grasses, sedges and insects. In autumn attention also turns to fungi. We are particularly fortunate in the Havant area in having a number of excellent wildlife sites, which we visit regularly.

Assembled in Bridge Road car park for the Emsworth walk - 26.01.08

 Sites visted on a regular basis include South Moors, Hayling Oyersterbeds, The Kench, Farlington Marshes, Hilsea Lines, Milton Common, Emsworth Harbour, Brook Meadow, Hollybank Woods, Thorney Island, Nutbourne Marshes, Chidham and Cobnor penisula, Fishbourne Channel, Chichester Gravel Pits, Pagham Nature Reserve, Stansted Forest, Havant Thicket, Purbrook Heath, Old Winchester Hill, Catherington Down, Kingley Vale, as well as various countryside walks.
