The Loughborough RSPB Group invite you to join them on their coach trip to the RSPB reserve at Paxton Pits in Gloucestershire

Birds have been quick to take advantage of the new wetland habitats created by gravel extraction. As scrub and woodland develops around the Pits, other birds move in. Around 70 species breed regularly, with several dozen more spending the winter there. To date, 234 species have been recorded.
There is an information centre with refreshments and toilets.
The coach will leave from outside the Brockington Building, Loughborough University, Epinal Way, Loughborough at 7.30 am
