The first of our Autumnal biodiversity outings in Brittas Bay took place on 31st Aug at 4 pm with a focus on Butterflies. Led by Rozanne Bell from ALC Nature, we  had a lively and enthusiastic audience.

Thanks to Justin Ivory for sharing some of his fab images and providing identification captions!

Our next outing will take place on Sunday 25th September where Alan Lauder will guide us through migrating birds likely to be observed  passing over Brittas Bay at this time of year. for more on the ‘Behind the Beach’ programme click HERE
