FIELD TRIP: RSPB Scotland Fowlsheugh Nature Reserve
Saturday 8th June 2024 Starts at 11am, and finishes at 3 pm.
AVIAN PARADISE: RSPB Scotland Fowlsheugh Nature Reserve
Join Dr Keith Skene as he introduces you to the incredible bird and plant life at Fowlsheugh Nature Reserve, just north of Inverbervie at Crawton. One hundred and thirty thousand birds cling to the four-hundred-million-year-old cliffs, including puffins, kittiwakes, gannets, herring gulls, razorbills, guillemots and fulmars, and together they form one of the three largest bird colonies in mainland Britain. It’s an amazing place and we’ll discuss the biology of these species and the challenges faced by them in these turbulent times.
A one-mile walk on grassy paths, a pungent aroma and a bracing wind awaits!
Participants must arrange their own transport and lunch.
Details will be supplied as to the exact meet-up point later.
NB If you decide to participate in these walks, you do so at your own risk. You should be aware that the routes may present difficulties for people with mobility problems. Wear sensible shoes and be prepared for rain.
