Wildfowl and Wader Day
21st Nov
Wildfowl and Wader Day at Rutland Water
This day is an excellent opportunity to see the wide variety of wildfowl passing through Rutland or arriving for winter. Previous highlights have included American Wigeon, Scaup, Eider and Great Northern Diver. Using cars and travelling around as a group, you will check likely sites around the reservoir and also walk out onto the reserve. Best of all, your guide for the day will be Terry Mitcham, a well-respected birding expert who has written books and magazine columns and is the bird recorder for the local Natural History Society.
£15/person, 9.30am-4pm, Anglian Water Birdwatching Centre, Egleton, see www.lrwt.org.uk.
