This is always a lovely event this time of year! It has been known for the kingfisher to make an appearance too 😃

Our annual community bird walk will be on Saturday 24th January. Meeting at the main car park off City Road from 10.20, setting off at 10.30. Everyone is welcome!

The walk lasts for around one hour once we have set off. We will show you some of the best spots for bird watching in the park and share information about how you can get involved in RSPB

We will stick to the main tarmac path but please be aware that there are a few hills. You can do as little or as much of the walk as you like. Please dress appropriately for the weather and bring a drink. If you have any accessibility questions please get in touch.

In 2025, over 590,000 people across the UK took part in Big Garden Birdwatch, counting a whopping 9.1 million birds! If you'd like to know more please head to their website: https://www.rspb.org.uk/whats-happening/big-garden-birdwatch
