Friends of Alexandra Park presents....

Bird Walk and Bird Ringing Demonstration
Sunday May 7th 8 am

Alexandra Park is home to many birds, and at this time of year some are showing off their best plumage. On Sunday morning, May 7th, Gareth, one of our local experts, will be helping us to identify anything we spot, and Gerry our local bird ringer, will be explaining what bird ringing is all about, and giving us the chance to see a few birds very close-up.
Do bring binoculars if you have them, and suitable foo...twear.
The walk is free, all ages are welcome, and there is no need to book - just meet at 8 am on Sunday May 7 in The Grove Car Park. The walk will take a couple of hours but feel free to leave the walk at any time.
