Field trips 2011

Field trips by car · Derek Lawrence · Added 23 October 2010

Due to insufficient attendees the DBC has decided that for the immediate future we will not be able to arrange Clubs Trips with the use of a coach. Instead we have arranged an exciting new programme centred primarily around our own fine county!

We propose to run trips via our own transport ( cars ), in an effort to be green we will use a car share procedure. A central meeting place and time will be advertised via the clubs website. On arrival to that site all those wishing to attend will be condensed into as few cars as possible. Petrol costs will be arranged between the occupants of each vehicle. Spare vehicles will be left at the pre arranged meeting site. (Car park of Edf Energy Doxford International Business Park just off a19 a690 roundabout)

April: Black-cocks and Goshawks
May: Redstarts, Flycatchers and Warblers
June: Nightjars, Woodcocks and Owls
October: Holy Island and The Northumbrian Coastline
Please note it will be each individuals own responsibility to wear correct and adequate clothing and footwear for each of the trips. It would also be advisable to bring along a packed lunch and drinks. Each individual will be responsible for their own health and safety. The Durham Bird Club will not be held responsible for any accidents to individuals, vehicles or equipment. So please be careful and enjoy the days out. All trip dates will be announced before each trip and a full itinerary by Derek Lawrence. Please be aware that trips may be postponed or cancelled due to any adverse weather conditions. The website will be updated with any changes.
