LINCOLN Group RSPB visited Paxton Pits Nature Reserve,Cambs (9.30-5.00pm),next to the River Great Ouse, on Sunday 11th May. 43 members led by Mike Willey enjoyed a glorious sunny day. We broke up into smaller groups, walking around the various nature trails on the 75 hectares of lakes, meadow, grassland, scrub and woodland of the Nature Reserve. Immediate views of a Hobby circling over the Visitor Centre was a good start to the day's birding.
