Join us on January 25th for the Big Garden Birdwatch

This weekend, 25-26 January, is when the RSPB's annual Big Garden Birdwatch will be taking place.   On Saturday 25th there will be the opportunity to have a walk around Priory Park and take part in the event. The event starts at 2:00pm and will be led by Park Ranger Mark Tarpey. The idea is to identify as many different bird species in an hour as you can. Binoculars will be available to help you spot the birds, and information will be available to identify them. What birds can you expect to see? Well, you can never be sure, but robins, blackbirds, crows, pigeons, blue tits and great tits are almost certain, and there are plenty of other birds to be seen there, although not necessarily guaranteed. We look forward to seeing you there on Saturday.
