MEMBERS PRIVATE TRIP TO BROWNSEA & ZOOM PREVIEW
By kind invitation of the Dorset Wildlife Trust and, permission of the National Trust, SCG members are invited to visit Brownsea Island during the closed season for a private guided tour of the Nature Reserve and the opportunity to watch the birds in the lagoon at dusk.

Please bring binoculars if you have them, to observe the many winter migrant birds feeding in the lagoon. There will also be the opportunity to see red squirrels and Sika deer before the Gulls return to roost as dusk draws in; returning on the ferry leaving at 5.40pm.

The trip will depart from Sandbanks National Trust Pier on the new John Lewis Partners launch, Castello at 3.30pm on Saturday 5th February and is limited by the capacity of the boat to 25 members. Warm clothing is strongly advised as it can be drafty in the bird hides.

A suggested donation of £20 per person, is payable in cash at the boat dock towards the cost of running the ferry (£7.00) and the maintenance of the reserve by DWT. Please don't forget to bring cash on the day.

Places for the visit are offered on a first come first served basis by replying to this email to anthony.vickery@sandbankscg.com 
If there is demand, we can run a second trip, either on the Sunday of the same weekend or later in February, so we will keep a waiting list.

Nicki Tutton who is one of the Wild Brownsea Project Officers at DWT, living on the island will give us a 40 minute preview of the visit followed by questions. http://www.sandbankscommunitygroup.com/events
All are welcome to join the zoom preview, but the visit is strictly SCG members only.
