Field Outings, Outdoor Events and Mothing Mornings

There is no need to pre-book on to a Field Outing unless otherwise stated. Members, as always, attend events at their own risk.
The description for each outing gives information on the route and activity, including the type of terrain, any steep inclines or descents and any obstructions, such as stiles. Please read the outing details to see if it is suitable for you. If in doubt, consult the Field Outings Organiser by email at:- 
outings@chinats.org.uk
Children are welcome to attend if accompanied by a responsible adult.
Dogs are not permitted on Field Outings, the exception being for assistance dogs.
Please bring any personal medication and any refreshments as appropriate. It's a good idea for attendees to carry their emergency contact details. 
Chi Nats always welcomes more volunteers to step forward to act as Leaders and suggest walks. You do not need to be an expert on wildlife, as there are always knowledgeable and helpful members in the group.


Last Mothing Morning at 10 am. We invite members to help unpack the Society moth trap at the location below. We publish the relevant addresses in our monthly newsletter or email website@chinats.org.uk
Wednesday 2 September - Chidham 


Wednesday 30th September :  AN AUTUMN HARBOURSIDE BIRD WALK AT DELL QUAY

Leader: Robert Watson
Time: 10:00 -12:00 
Meet: Near the Education Centre
Grid Ref: SU 835 028.  Post code PO20 7EE 
What3words: crinkled.scarecrow.wicked
Parking: Near the Quay or along Dell Quay Road, off A286 SW of Chichester.
A return visit to Dell Quay where Robert will lead members on his local patch. It will be the middle of a rising tide and we should see passage migrants or early returning winter visitors including Greenshank, Redshank, Turnstone, Curlew, Black-tailed Godwit and Wigeon.  Might be too early for Brent Geese, but you never know what will turn up - last year there was a Glossy Ibis present here at the start of October.
A flat walk along good paths but could be muddy if there’s been rain. Crown and Anchor pub nearby for lunch / toilets afterwards if required.
