Martin Down near Sixpenny Handley

Wednesday 15 June 2022; 9.00am, Martin Down, Nr Sixpenny Handley.

Martin Down NNR is jointly owned and managed by Natural England and Hampshire County Council. The reserve is important for ground nesting birds such as Skylark and Grey Partridge. At this time of year migrant birds should be in evidence and we have a chance of Turtle Dove and Quail. The chalk downland supports a good range of butterflies and plants, so hopefully something for everyone. Meeting will last until lunchtime or early afternoon, so members may wish to bring some lunch. Please note earlier start time.

The leader will be Graham Stacey , details of his mobile number and the exact location for meeting is on the programme information sheet sent out with the Winter edition of WOS News and will also be given on the forthcoming events email which is sent at the beginning of the month in which the event is held.

Information relating to WOS field meetings in general is given on the Programme.
