*************************************** Saturday 20th February **********************************

Our Donegal branch invite you to join them for a visit to Blanket Nook.

The reserve is a man-made freshwater lake formed when an embankment was constructed to drain the flat marshland in the surrounding area. Blanket Nook used to mark the western side of the divide of the island of Eoghain or Inishowen from Donegal. These days, this curiously titled wetland is a well-known site for waders and wildfowl. The Kingfisher is sometimes seen at the lock gates on the reserve.

A branch member will email members a week prior to the date to announce weather or not they will be going ahead.
