On a nice clear morning our local bird expert Alan Daniells led seven of us on a bird walk through Wapley Common, the woods and the meadows. Many of the group were also experienced bird spotters, and in total we identified 23 species.
We spotted double-figure numbers each of Chiffchaff, Blackcap, and Wren.
There was a wide range of other species too: Mallard, Stock Dove, Woodpigeon, Lesser Black-backed Gull, Buzzard, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Green Woodpecker, Jay, Magpie, Jackdaw, Carrion Crow, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Long-tailed Tit, Willow Warbler, Goldcrest, Song Thrush, Mistle Thrush, Blackbird, and Robin.
A date for your diaries - there will be a Summer Bird Walk on Saturday 28 June starting at the Shire Way gate BS37 8US at 10.00 AM. Please wear suitable footwear.
