The Kidderminster Branch welcomes everyone on its field trips. These are held from September to late Spring, and include dawn chorus and evening walks. The branch visits our own reserves, plus sites of birding interest both near and far. Transport will be by car, so if you are willing to take passengers, or require a lift, please contact one of the Kidderminster Branch committee members to arrange lifts.

Note: If dogs are taken on trips, they must be kept on short leads under very strict control. Some reserves do not allow access to dogs, so it may be best to leave them at home.
