Alexandra Park Ornithological Group is running a free guided walk this Sunday. Gareth Richards and I will be leading the walk, and our route through the park will include the area known as the Cricket Scrub, where Gerry Rawcliffe, assisted by Bob Watts, will be holding a ringing demonstration. We should see a wide range of common woodland and parkland birds, hopefully including woodpeckers, and depending on weather conditions migrants may be in evidence - sightings in the last two days include such interesting species as Yellow Wagtail and Common Redstart. The walk will last two-three hours, depending on bird activity. Children are welcome, but no dogs please.
