  Manor Fields Park - Sheffield

30th January - Big Garden Birdwatch

2/1/2022

 
We had a great turn out for the first nature walk on the park this year - a bird walk in honour of the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch!

Many thanks to local experts Chris, Helen and John for volunteering their time and knowledge to lead the walk and help us identify the birds we saw.

With the sun shining down on us and the sound of bird song filling the air, we set off with great optimism.

We took an hour to walk around the park, identifying and counting the birds we saw. Manor Fields Park is managed as an 'urban nature park'. There are many areas of bramble, scrub, hedges and trees, as well as the pond and stream. Together, this provides a mass of natural habitat that can comfortably house a wide range and number of birds, and all just 2 miles from Sheffield City centre.

Over the hour the group observed 20 different species of birds! Well done everyone and thank you for taking part

Up next...
For the next walk we will look at the SUDS scheme that runs through the park and explain the interesting developments planned for it's expansion over the coming year. What's SUDS?! - That's Sustainable Drainage Systems! This walk will be on Wednesday 16th February, keep an eye out for details coming soon.
