Refreshed after the bird walk

29th April 2017 Kris Inglis

This photo combines two reasons to celebrate: Our new drinking fountain in use and a successful bird walk today (29 April).

Stuart Banks, an FSP member as well as a knowledgeable RSPB member, led a sunny and meandering walk through the old allotments, Dothill path, open fields and hedgerows of the Park.

Because most trees are well and truly in leaf now it was easier to hear than see the inhabitants. But we were treated to chiff chaffs, blackcaps, dunnocks, starlings, crows, robins and wrens and many more. Stuart, and another member, Robert were able to supply many birdie facts and siting tips.

It was a pleasure to have two parents with small explorers join the walk.

Formed in 2006, the Friends of Shrewsbury Park encourage the use of Shrewsbury Park and support the development of facilities for recreation, education and amenities for local people and to encourage a sense of community around the park.
