Members and friends.

Meet in the Old Man's Mouth Car Park (the car park alongside the river near the footbridge to the boardwalk i.e. to the south of the bird feeding car park) at 5am. Look out for a man in a HiViz vest at the entrance!
This is intended as an introduction to common bird song and just to enjoy one of nature's most beautiful moments.
The board walk can be VERY slippery so please bring shoes with a good grip. It is cold at that time in a morning so wrap up well!
Binoculars would be useful but not essential as this is more about bird song!

Droning on; a miscellany of dubious connections Wildlife recording is hugely important especially in a 'development' led council district like Scarborough where environmental protection has to be evidence based. Simon will speak about the work of the data centre, some of the latest techniques they employ and how to get involved. Simon Pickles NEYEDC
