Green Dale early morning bird walk, Sunday 26th April ? CANCELLED


Recommended Posts

Come along to Friends of Green Dale's early morning bird walk on Sunday 26th April from 6.30am. It's for those of us who don't want to get up at 4.00am for a dawn chorus walk :-) As well as enjoying the peace and quiet of Green Dale, we'll have a chance to hear ? and see ? dozens of different birds, including Green Dale's population of whitethroats, which should have returned from wintering in Africa.

Novice birdwatchers are more than welcome ? no knowledge or experience required. Please wear warm clothing and 'sensible' footwear. Binoculars would be an advantage but not at all essential, as many of the birds are more likely to be audible than visible!

We'll meet at 6.30am at the open entrance on Green Dale cycle/footpath. The walk will last about an hour, but you're more than welcome to stay around for longer.

Please note that if the weather is wet, the event will be cancelled. Check here for updates.

Beautiful walk through Green Dale this morning ? at least three greenfinches singing over a 'territorial dispute' and a female blackcap gathering nesting material. The weather's looking dry for Sunday's early morning bird walk!


 

We'll be doing a walk combined with Friends of Dog Kennel Hill Wood (the patch of woodland just north of Sainsburys car park) on May 16th at 10.30 ? more info soon.


To get to Green Dale from Sainsburys, follow Abbotswood Rd past the car wash and turn right along the footpath that runs at the back of the football club's south stand. Keep on the footpath until you reach Green Dale path (by the Google logo on the map), turn right and the entrance is at the pink blob on the map :-)


 

Well, it hasn't yet :-) That's a different walk, taking in flowers, trees and more, and aimed at kids and all ages, rather than an early morning bird walk. I'm hoping next weekend might be OK, but I'll update when the weather looks more certain.

    • It's great that the council will do this, but it does seem a costly waste of their scarce resources, unless there are factors which I don't know about? Surely rather than dealing with a few piles of dog poo on request on an as and when basis they need to find some way of addressing the whole problem? What do other boroughs/countries do? Have things got worse since COVID, when the dog population seems to have quadrupled round here? Did some people acquire dogs without thinking through the less cuddly aspects of ownership? Could dogs be trained to use a litter tray and/or bury their own poo, like cats do? 🤣 (That was a joke, btw).
