LOCAL INFORMATION on forays!
Most local forays are of like-minded individuals just looking in suitable places at the right time of year.
We have found that a number of species are to be seen at other times of year,when we have been out recording Dragonflies and Butterflies.
So we have incorporated lists of sighting months in our Website,for your information.
Annual sightings are also recorded.

I have left the dates and map references of earlier Forays for interest,and possible follow-ups.
2001 FORAYS
Programme
2001
Because
of the unusual circumstances regarding foot and mouth this year, you are
advised to check with the foray leader to ascertain the foray can go ahead.
Foray leaders please check with the land owner nearer the time of the foray
that it is clear for the foray to go ahead. Everyone should have received a
list of members names and addresses, if you have not done so please let me
know.
All
forays start in the morning and are expected to continue into the afternoon so
bring a packed lunch
