Nature Walk Saturday 29 October (note change of date)

2G3S nature walk at Dernford Reservoir Saturday 29 October  

Join me for our final informal local nature walk of the year around Dernford Reservoir on Saturday 29 October between 2-4 pm.  The reservoir area was opened for public access following amelioration of the former gravel quarry.  There is a meadow flora around the reservoir and some interesting bird life including Goosander, Great-crested Grebe, Tufted Duck and Common Terns on the small island.  Meet at 2 pm at the car park next to the reservoir off Cambridge Road just south of the village (Map reference TL471511).  As you come out of Stapleford on the Cambridge Road travelling towards Sawston you will see the Rose pub restaurant on the left.  Continue over the road bridge and take the first right up the former quarry service road.  Continue for 250m and the small car park is on the right.

Sturdy footwear is advised and appropriate attire for the weather condtions.  Note these walks are intended to raise awareness of our local wildlife sites and open to all, though you attend at your own risk.
