FRIENDS OF WILDLIFE
SATURDAY MORNING WALKS
Contact Heather Mills for details of current walks:
heather_walking@yahoo.com Tel:02392 668156The walks take place every Saturday morning from 9.00 to 12.00 throughout the year and visit a variety of sites, generally within a ten mile radius of Havant. Attendance is usually around 10, with a range from 5 to 15. The emphasis is more on wildlife and less on walking. Progress tends to be fairly slow with lots of stops to study birds, flowers, insects, fungi, etc. Birds are of interest all year round, but in summer interest is mainly on flowers, grasses, sedges and insects. In autumn attention also turns to fungi. We are particularly fortunate in the Havant area in having a number of excellent wildlife sites, which we visit regularly.
