Location: Meet at Blackwater Arboretum car park on Rhinefield Ornamental Drive, SU 267,046. To find this drive from Lyndhurst towards Christchurch on the A35. After about 2 ½ miles you come to a cross roads. Turn left signed to Rhinefield and Brockenhurst. The car park is the first one on the left after about 1 mile.
Date and time: 1pm-4pm Saturday 13 December.
If you want to have wonderful views of Hawfinches then join me to watch them as they come in to roost. Siskin, Redpoll and sometimes Crossbill and Brambling are seen here too.
We will have a short walk around the local woods and the arboretum and then wait, looking up at the tree tops, for the Hawfinches to arrive. The sore necks are worth it!!
We will be handing out mince pies as a Christmas treat!
There are toilets at the car park here.
