Saturday, 27 February 2010 - Bird Watching at the Add Estuary, Moine Mohr and Crinan Canal


This field trip is organised by Jim Dickson. We meet at 10 am at the Islandadd Bridge, near Bellanoch. A packed lunch might be better than a pub lunch........though if the weather is appaling and folk want to shelter indoors the plans could be changed on the day! Those interested please contact Jim Dickson (Tel: 01546 603967 or )


Saturday, 27 March 2010 - Bird Watching Sound of Gigha


Our yearly successfull Sound of Gigha birdwatching field trip is planned for 27 March 2010 and is as usual organised by Paul Daw. Meet at 10.00 am at Ronachan Point Car Park. As usual we will have lunch at the Gigha Hotel. Naturally you are free to bring a packed lunch if you prefer. Those interested, please contact Paul Daw (Tel: 01546 886260 or ).


Sunday, 25 April 2010 - Bird Watching Head of the Holy Loch at Sandbank


Nigel Scriven is organising a field trip to the new bird hide (we hope that by then it will be finished) at the head of the Holy Loch in Sandbank. Meet at Broxwood carpark in Sandbank at 9.00 am (this is located on the left hand side of the road leading into Sandbank just before the Holy Loch). There are ample venues to have lunch in the area but naturally you can bring your own. Those interested, please contact Nigle Scriven (Tel: 01369 840 606 or ).
