The next gathering is on Sunday the 19th March at Lackford and Thetford in Norfolk.
Rob is the main co-ordinator for this event. I will be elsewhere .
From Rob
If the weather is forecast good I think it's a good idea to have a walk through the forest and try to see the displaying Goshawk's and whatever else presents its self. Then go onto Lackford for lunchtime/early afternoon
As far as I am aware the Goshawks have been displaying for the last week or so, I will try and get over and see where the main activity is.
It will be best to meet in the parking bays on the A11 at the Elvedon monument for first light (6.00am), then we can go onto where the Goshawks are.
There is no entrance fee into the forest.
If the weather is forecast for rain etc, I think it will be a good idea to go straight to Lackford lakes (meeting at 9am) and spend the day there.
Its just I don't want Rob standing there awaiting somebody and nobody turns up.
Thursday night is decision time.

That's a link for Lackford Lakes.
There is no entance fee to Lackford and there is plenty of parking and a tea/coffee shop.
We might be ultra lucky and see a migrating Osprey stopping off for a fish!!
