21 June (Saturday) - Woodmancote
An open country walk on mostly level ground courtesy of local farmer Henry Robinson. We will start in Woodmancote village for possible Spotted Flycatcher and village birds, then overlook a steep valley with scrub and trees for warblers etc. before skirting some large fields where Lapwing, Grey Partridge, Raven, Yellowhammer and Linnet have been seen in recent years. Hunting Peregrine have also been spotted in this area in the past.
Leader: Geoff Bailey
12 July (Saturday) - Sherborne
A chance to visit the water meadows and look over the Society's Willow Tit nestbox project. Since our last visit the National Trust have undertaken landscape work to encourage more flooding in winter and spring.

The 2014 Programme
The 2014 meeting programme is now complete and members should have received their copies. This year, by way of a trial a number of meetings will be on a Saturday, rather than all being on the traditional Sunday. We would be interested in what you have to say about this. If the attendance is good we will keep this as a feature of future programmes.
