Sunday 14 June - Summer Bird Walk - Wapley Bushes Local Nature Reserve - A Great Big Green Week event

Green Woodpecker on the fringe of Wapley Common

As part of the Royal Horticultural Society's Great Big Green Week, we are organising a Summer Bird Walk at Wapley Bushes.

Many bird species can be found at the Wapley Bushes nature reserve - we hope to see or hear more than 20 species. How many types of bird will we spot this time?

There will be quite a few early chicks – not necessarily visible, but the parents will be back and forth feeding them.

Please meet at the Shire Way, Yate gate entrance to the reserve at  10.00am. The postcode is BS37 8US for satnavs. Please also wear suitable footwear.

Our events are all free to attend and they do not require advance booking. Everyone is welcome, though children under 16 will need to be accompanied by a responsible adult.
