About the event
Hello Pipits!
This Sunday we will be going to the Carden Alvar!
It's a magical place, and each sequential visit you make there will show different aspects of the whole.
Let's meet at the South end of Wylie Road at 5:30 am. You'll realize when you see the sunrise, just why I booked this trip to start so early.
From here we will make our way along Wylie all the way to Alvar Road. We should see Wilson's Snipes, a variety of Sparrows, Bluebirds, and perhaps Upland Sandpipers. Loggerhead Shrike breed in the area so we may see them as well.
Bring a scope if you have one.
