March 9th 2026 – Wollaton Hall Walk

There are lots of potential subjects here, buildings, landscapes, trees, deer and waterbirds so there should be something for everyone. The unusual sight of herons nesting in the tree in the middle of the lake which has been a star attraction in previous years. Bring a long lens if you have one because they are a fair distance away.
