Directions Website

Green spaces at New Park Springs, Cudworth Common, Phoenix Park, Brodsworth, Bentley, Kiveton and Dinnington.

These important green spaces have been created over the last 20 years through the reclamation and landscaping of former coal mining sites. The sites have been transformed to create a vibrant mosaic of landscapes and habitats including wetlands, woods, heaths, meadows and park land. These habitats support a wide range of wildlife and particularly, a large number of birds including buzzards, several species of owl, and a wide range of song birds and ground nesting birds. The sites are owned by the Land Trust and managed in partnership with The Conservation Volunteers.

Bright and sunny conditions made for a pleasant morning for our Visible Migration workshop at Bentley community woodland, and we saw and heard a nice mix of migrating birds as well as the resident species.

Personal highlights were the high, migrating Jays heading SE, a couple of small flocks of Pink-footed Geese, and the high, invisible but audible Skylarks!

Small numbers of finches were also moving S, like these Goldfinch, a great morning in good company, so a big thank you to those that attended!
