Join ornithologist Michael Turner at 10:00am at the lake to learn about the birds we expect to see in the park in the summer. With their young fledged, adult birds are now concentrating on rebuilding their body strength. Migratory species are storing fat for the journey south. At this time of year we can spot younger birds learning life skills from their parents. Our bird walks generally last for two hours and cover different parts of the park. Michael’s walks are always popular and pre-booking is recommended. To reserve your place please email [email protected]

Saturday 16th May - Guided Tree Walk by the Lake Join us for the second in our series of guided tree walks around Saltwell Park. We meet outside the main gates (opposite
the Little Theatre) at 11am for a 90-minute (approximately) guided tour and discussion of some of the park’s native and non-native trees. We will identify different species, learn about their characteristics, discover their benefits to both people and wildlife and find out how they fit into the eco system. Numbers are limited so please reserve your place in advance by emailing [email protected]
