October Outdoor Meeting

Saturday 9th October Dawlish Warren 10.30am at Dawlish Warren (Grid Ref: SX980787) Leader: Ray Jones

Dawlish Warren Nature Reserve, owned and managed by Teignbridge District Council, is a nationally important area for wildlife particularly in winter when it attracts many hundreds of wintering wildfowl. It is an SSS1 site and part of the Exe Estuary Ramsar site.The site has a wide of habitats including mudflats, dunes, grassland, ponds and woodland. Unfortunately, due to storm damage, the hide overlooking the mudflats is unavailable for use at the present time.

We would hope to see many different types of birds both on the nature reserve and out to sea. For flora lovers there is also a possibility of Autumn Lady's-tresses on the grassland.

From Dawlish Warren village turn into Beach Road, drive underneath the railway tunnel (NB height restriction 2.54m) into the car park and meet at the far end of the car park (SX 981 788). The nearest postcode is EX7 0NF.
