Walks/birdwatching in Surrey

[Alleycat1]

I live in Bagshot Surrey and wondered if there were any walking groups which take in bird watching, in that surrounding area (up to 10 miles). I am a new walker so not too many miles!

Hoping the mods won't mind this link I've put in.

The RSPB: Local groups: Find a group near you

Also look for walks arranged by groups like the Surrey Bird Club, Surrey Wildlife Trust and London Natural History Society (all should be easily found with a web search, and all will be likely to have some events not too far from you).

I wouldn't worry about walks being too far, birdwatching walks tend to be at a very slow pace, with frequent stops to look for/at birds. People who want a brisk walk often get upset if they find themselves on a bird walk!

Thanks RoyW and Bird Woman both very useful suggestions especially the Surrey Bird Club

Camberley Natural History Society.

Indoor meetings are held on the first Thursday of each month (except August), at High Cross Church, Knoll Road, Camberley at 7.30.pm. The lectures are on varied topics ranging from grasses to flies and weather forecasting to wild-life painting.

The walks and outings are to many local places of interest including such reserves as Lightwater Country Park, Brentmoor Heath, Moor Green Lakes and Thursley Common. We also have trips further afield to such places as Pagham Harbour, Arundel, Selborne, Kew, Whipsnade Zoo, Tring Natural History Museum and many other sites of Natural History interest. Other society activities include conservation work, coach trips, social events, summer evening walks and additional events organised at shorter notice.



Cheers,
