COUNTRY LIFE Countryside news with Tony Ridd What to look out for... Autumn Bird Watch S unday October 18, 10am: Come and see what’s on the move in the bird world, the last of the summer and first of the winter! Ventnor is a great place to see huge numbers of swallows and martins passing through along with warblers, flycatchers wagtails and pipits, even migratory birds of prey such as osprey and hobby; and there’s always the chance of finding a rarity or two! We don’t know what the weather will be doing on the 18th, but take a chance on what might be! Starting at the Landslip/Nansen Hill car park (free, but limited spaces) , no booking is required.
