Birding at Fishers Green hide and surrounding footpaths

Make sure you enter Stubbins Lane from the B194 and soon take the second left into the car park (parking charges apply.)

We will meet in the car park and then take the short but interesting walk to the hide (The Lee Valley Wildlife Discovery Centre.)

Once we've seen enough of the bittern, or whatever else is around, we'll do a walk of two to three kilometres around the river, lakes and woodland along good paths that could be muddy in places.

The event is free but a voluntary donation of £2 per person is suggested.

Please try and car share. If you would like to do that but are not sure who else is attending, feel free to email the organiser, Rob Blythe, on cmJibHl0aGUgfCBob3RtYWlsICEgY29t. Give him your phone number, your address, whether you would prefer to drive, be a passenger or either of those, and whether you intend going to lunch afterwards. By doing so, you are giving him permission to pass on your contact details to others attending the event to see whether car sharing is viable.

All welcome, whatever your level of birdwatching knowledge. It will go ahead if it is raining. Call Rob on 07512 704744 for further details.

We might take photos of the event to publicise future events. If you do not wish to appear in them, please let the leader know.

Afterwards, you may wish to join us for a pub lunch which could be at the Rye House, Rye Rd, Hoddesdon EN11 0EH. It is 6 miles away to the north and therefore on the way back for many. But we are open to suggestions!
