West Bexington - Sunday 8th October - Guided Walk
Join us this Sunday 8th October for a guided walk at West Bexington from 09:30 – midday. Meet in the beach car park at SY 531864 (charges apply).
We will take a leisurely stroll along the beach and back in the hope of seeing some autumn migrants. A bird-ringing demonstration has now been arranged, weather permitting, which will hopefully give us the opportunity to see some migrant birds up close and personal!
Tel: 07799 624 062 email: walksATdorsetbirds.org.uk
