I have offered to organise a Spring outing to Sevenoaks Wildfowl Reserve (with pub lunch !) possibly combined with Bough Beech Reservoir which is not far away.
Possible dates: Sat 11 Apr, Sun 12 Apr, Wed 29 Apr, Fri 1 May.
An opportunity to dust off your long lenses, experiment with your camera's AF settings, and practice your panning technique. Whilst you'll probably get the best out of the day if you have a long telephoto, some of the hides offer an opportunity to get a bit closer - you never know what you will find close to the paths as you walk around the site - and there's the landscape to photograph. And you can always take photographs of photographers photographing the aforementioned things too of course...
Why not consider hiring a lens for the day ? Perhaps sharing the cost of hire with another member ? It could give you an opportunity to try out that dream lens you've always wanted ! (But beware of the consequences if you decide you then can't live without it ! LOL) A recommended supplier of hired lenses is: http://www.lensesforhire.co.uk
Details of the venues and how to get there, can be found here:

Re: Sevenoaks Wildfowl Reserve
I am very interested and would definitely join you if I could.
At the moment all dates are possible though I would have to do some re-arranging if you went for 11th April.
