8.00 am Saturday 30th April

Meet at the steps into the park from the bridge on Archer Road. Several pairs of binoculars available to lend out for the walk. Everyone welcome as always.

Last April’s walk produced 33 species. In the last couple of weeks a pair of Kingfishers have been displaying along the Sheaf. No guarantees but it would be nice to get a sighting of the Park’s iconic bird which has proved elusive on recent spring walks.

For further information on finding birds in the Millhouses Park/Ecclesall Woods/ Tyzack’s Dam area look at the Sheffield Bird Study Group website at

www.sbsg.org

At the end of the guide there’s a “Recent Records” link which lists everything that’s been reported in the area over the previous weeks. Worth a look.

Notice the new link – this is for the Sheffield Bird Study Group who have produced a bird walk for the park and woods! Click ‘LINKS’ above to find the page!

The next bird walk, led by Pete Brown, will be on Saturday 20th November. Click HERE for details!
