November meeting

Today dawned bright and clear, but very frosty and cold BUT 10 members of the branch braved the elements to meet at Eling at 10 am for a very enjoyable two hours of looking at Nature. There is so much to see by just being somewhere and watching, and it is wonderful how much is on display to us. We left Eling toll and walked along the river across the river and back through the graveyard and going down to the waterfront at Eling Hill or Gati as it is called locally.
Overall 23 different varities of birds were seen, including the star of them all- A BUZZARD- sitting proudly on the tree branch for all to see, also noted was a woodpeckers nest high up in a tree. Sheile Benfield told us what when she first came to Southampton wheat was being grown at Goti with a narrow path through it. The meeting was enjoyed by all and the next one will be on Friday 28th December at Testwood Lakes-first car park- commencing at 10 am. Go on - be a devil- come and join us and have a wonderful time Michael Page
