On Tuesday evening, 12th May, we will take a walk around Chris Wilson’s farm at Mowthorpe.
 
There should be plenty of birds to see – last year the RSPB carried out a bird survey of the farm.  As Chris is a local botanist, he has plenty of interesting plants on the farm and hopefully some will be in evidence at this time of year.
 
Parking:      SE997890 Just inside the gateway (Wood Vale) Lady Edith’s Drive, the road through to Raincliffe Woods.  Coming from the Forge Valley direction, the gateway is on the left-hand-side just before Oxpasture Hall.  Coming from Scarborough, the gateway is on the right-hand-side just after Oxpasture Hall.   Chris will be there around 6.30pm.
 
Times:      Start, 6.30 p.m.  Finish, about 8.30 p.m.
 
Conditions/Terrain: We will be walking through long grass.  Conditions underfoot vary and may be slippery if wet.  ‘Wellies’ or boots/stout shoes are recommended.  Children should be kept under close control and dogs are not permitted.
 
Leader:  Chris Wilson 
 
We look forward to seeing you there.
