The meeting time for this trip is 0930am in the large car park....parking charges apply. There are toilets and a cafe in the visitor centre which is located a few hundred yards from the car park. This car park can be reached by taking the A426, for about 5 miles, north east from Southam, Warks. A brown sign points to the Draycote Water entrance and the car park. The walk around the reservoir is about 5 miles over mainly good, paved surfaces. Early October is a good time to visit. Winter wildfowl numbers will be beginning to grow, but also later migrants will still be around too. I would anticipate a good and varied range of species being seen. All are welcome, come and help us build up a good trip list.
