Yesterday Stewart Short did a recce of Fen Drayton, which was the intended venue for our next outdoor event, and reported that flooding is still making access to much of the reserve impossible or difficult. The only decent birding was distant from the car park. We have therefore come to the conclusion that we should abandon Fen Drayton and go elsewhere. The preferred suggestion is RSPB Frampton Marsh which will guarantee birds and is usually very popular amongst Members.

Meet at 10.00 AM on Saturday 3rd February

Meet: In the reserve car park (please note that there is an entry charge to non-RSPB members)

In the bio-geographic melting-pot of the Pantanal - the aquatic heart of South America – are breathtaking congregations of mammals, birds and reptiles, many of them record-breakers of the natural world and most showing at point-blank range…all in the best place anywhere to see Jaguar, the New World’s mightiest cat.
