RSPB’s North Bucks Group’s 2018/19 season this month, with three organised events.
You do not have to be a RSPB member to attend, so take a look and see what takes your fancy...
On Wednesday (September 5) there will be a trip to the Anglian Water Birdwatching Centre at Rutland Water where passage waders and lingering ospreys are likely to be seen.
There are many hides and the visitor centre has toilets, a shop and snacks but it is suggested that a picnic is brought.
