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.

    • Hi. I’m looking for an Ikea ekanaset armchair in light grey fabric (now discontinued) to match one I already have. Just asking on the off chance someone is about to get rid of one!  Would need to be in good condition. Thanks. 
    • Hi folks, I'm hoping it's nothing, but we've noticed a man drive up outside our house in a white Jaguar XE 2.0 (example pic below), get out, take some photos of the building work with his phone, and then drive off. We've seen him do this a couple of times over the last couple of months.  Reg BP16 UAJ. Is it anything to be concerned about? I'm hoping it's just an architect or someone interested in the design and building work...
    • So glad you found this poor little thing....  I heard that so many people tried to catch it as it was running in the road.  Well done!            
    • As a one off thing, I'd 100% recommend going to Alexander Does Supper, if you like food! It's up at Dulwich Art School, and you do some life drawing, have an amazing three course meal, and then watch some burlesque! I met some great people from the local area, and it was something different that I would never have done otherwise. https://www.instagram.com/alexanderdoessupper https://www.alexanderdoessupper.com
