Magic Moments With Birds offers dedicated birdwatching outings for those who want to discover more of the superb birdlife of our area and beyond. Whilst based in Oxfordshire and covering many of the best local birdwatching sites, we also aim to go further afield and some of our trips will entail day or half-day excursions. Occasionally I lead birdwatching breaks in other parts of the country, and I offer places to members of this group on these. At the end of our time together my aim is that you leave with memories of an exceptional encounter with nature and a desire to discover more about our wonderful birdlife. Anyone is welcome to join, although the excursions are aimed at the beginner/intermediate level rather than at the expert. It will be helpful if you're able to bring your own binoculars (a spare pair may sometimes be available). At some Meetups if you have a telescope it would be useful to bring it, although I will have one with me. Sometimes you will also be asked to bring your own packed lunch, and bringing something to drink is always advised. Meetup fees will vary according to the outing grade: GRADE 1 \- usually a shorter time and distance\, often local \(£7.50 minimum donation). GRADE 2 \- sometimes a longer time and usually a further distance away from Oxford \(£10). There is also a SELECT BIRDWATCHING group option, where numbers will be limited in order to give participants a more focussed birdwatching experience. These will be marked as GRADE 2\* (£10). Occasionally short breaks away will be a different fee. When booking please make sure that you are DEFINITELY ABLE to make the trip; unmet fees will be liable if I am unable to fill your place on the event. Payment is by Bank Transfer when booking \- details are posted on each event page\. \(If this method is a problem for you please private message Andrew \(group organiser\) beforehand\)\. You will need to arrange your own transport to get to the Meet
