A birding trip around Wilstone Reservoir near Tring

Wilstone Reservoir Car Park is tucked close to the reservoir on the B489 (What3words///digestion.fluctuate.cultivation) at the only point where the road is close to the reservoir.

Our visit will consist of a circular walk of just over 3km around the reservoir, taking in lake-side views, a hide, woodland and open fields.

There are steep steps from the car park up to the reservoir. The path is generally good but can be uneven and muddy in places. There are few, if any, places to sit down and rest.

Afterwards, we intend driving a mile to The Anglers Retreat, Startops End, Marsworth, HP23 4LJ, a traditional pub serving good value home-cooked food.

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

Parking spaces are limited so 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 rbblythe@hotmail.com. 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.
