Important note: The January field meeting at Fuente de Piedra is still likely to proceed and we have reduced the number of persons attending to a maximum of 30, so please ensure you have pre-booked, just turning up is not an option in these days of government imposed restrictions. If you have any difficulties booking, please then send an email to the Society to reserve your place. We will hold our EGM during lunch at a local venta at 1300h. Of course, birding will start at 0900h, meeting in the reserve visitor car park and continue until the indoor meeting at 1300h and then continue after a lunch break. Note: No more than 15 persons can bird together as a group, so we will be dividing members attending into two groups.
Please do reserve your place by using the booking form at the bottom of the event page. If you intend to join us all for a lunch and EGM, please inform us in the comment section of the booking form or by email.
The Winter edition “Bird of Andalucía’, we hope to have copies to distribute to members attending the January field meeting.
