Term Card Hilary 2026
Week 1: Magdalen College
Saturday 17th Janurary - 2pm
An afternoon photo walk around Magdalen College's Deer Park - hoping to see deer(!), jays, flocks of smaller birds and maybe even a kingfisher!
Week 2: Uni Parks
Sunday 25th January - 3:30pm
An evening walk around University Parks, should be fun to see what's around before dusk!
Week 3: Port Meadow
Saturday 31st January - 2:30pm
PUDDLE ALERT: Looking to be rainy on Saturday! AND flooded. We'll be going round the west back of Port Meadow in search of waterfowl (cormorants especially!) and anything else out in the rain.
Week 4: CANCELLED
7th February - Too rainy!!!
We'll rearrange Trap Grounds for later in term!
Week 5: Uni Parks
Saturday 14th February - 2:30pm
Lots of flooding still remaining, which might make the fields northeast of Uni Parks a haven for some interesting birds!
Week 6: CANCELLED
21st Feb - Cancelled (committee unavailable!)
We'll go to Harcout Arberetum another time!
Week 7: Christchurch Meadows
Saturday 31st January - 2:30pm
FINALLY some nice weather! Christchurch meadows should offer some nice waterfowl along the river - geese, swans, maybe even a cormorant. Plus lots of little birds in the trees. Bring a telephoto!
Week 8: Trap Grounds
Sunday 8th March - 1:30pm (meet at Victoria Pub)
Lots of recent activity on Trap Grounds' website, which should make for a fun walk! Keep eyes out for herons, toads, kingfishers(!), warblers and buzzards! In this transition from winter to spring it'll be great to see what's coming out!
