Join us in May
Naturetrek will once again be spending the day at Titchfield Haven National Nature Reserve, near Fareham in Hampshire, on Friday 16th May 2008. Several of our staff and leaders, including Rajan Jolly (Nepal, India & Bhutan), Paul Stanbury (Europe & Africa) and Andy Tucker (South America), will be on hand to answer any holiday questions you may have and to escort walks around the nature reserve (entrance fee not included). Guided walks will take place at 9.30am and 2pm, each for one hour. 45-minute powerpoint shows will be presented throughout the day, as follows: Wildlife Cruises around Spitsbergen, Antarctica, Kamchatka & Baja – 11am, Wildlife of India & the Himalaya – 12 midday, South America for Birds and Mammals – 1pm. Early May is a wonderful time to visit Titchfield Haven and prime time for scarce spring migrants such as Black Tern, Little Gull and a wide variety of waders. To join us for the day, please phone Julie on 01962 733051, or email Julie. We look forward to seeing you there!
Office Open Days
If you would like some help in planning your wildlife holiday for 2008 or 2009, join our tour leaders and staff at our Cheriton Mill offices for tea, coffee, cakes and expert advice on one of the Naturetrek Open Days listed below. Two of these Open Days are themed – when Indian/South American snacks will be served, and Powerpoint presentations shown, throughout the day; others will focus on the full range of our tours. During the summer you may wish to combine your visit to us with one or more of the local attractions. These include some fabulous local pubs along the Itchen Valley, the delightful National Trust house and gardens just a mile away at Hinton Ampner, the Watercress Line for steam train enthusiasts, birdwatching at nearby Alresford Pond and the surrounding watercress beds and water meadows, butterflies and botany on the chalk downland National Nature Reserves at Beacon Hill and Old Winchester Hill, not to mention the attractions of the charming Georgian market town of Alresford and the historic cathedral city of Winchester just a short drive away. But please do phone Julie on 01962 733051, or email Julie, first to ensure an appointment can be made for you to see the staff member best suited to discuss your interests!
