Just one more timekeeper needed for tomorrow’s event - could it be you? Please get in touch if you can volunteer. It’s easy and you’ll be with someone else too, so there’s no need to be nervous!

With ducklings now appearing in the lake please keep dogs on a lead in the park as it's peak nesting season and many birds use the bushes, long grass and undergrowth for cover.

Protect Ground-Nesting Birds This Spring and Summer

The celebrated song of the skylark and bubbling call of curlew are evocative and welcome sounds of spring, as people explore our wonderful countryside and urban commons again. Birds like these – whose numbers are in worrying decline – are making their fragile nests on the ground, tucked away safely in long grass.

However, too often, an exuberant or inquisitive pooch, wandering or bounding through grass or heather, easily disturbs wildlife and scares adult birds off nests or tramples eggs. And vulnerable chicks can quickly perish if they are left alone for too long. Many people think of birds’ nests as being high up in trees, but a surprising number nest on the ground or just above it, in low bushes.

The Wildlife Trusts are calling on dog walkers to keep their dogs on short leads to help ground-nesting birds this spring and summer. Whether you’re visiting moorland, fields, urban parks or the beach, there are birds nesting on the ground – or just above it – that can be hard to see and are at risk of trampling, disturbance, and harm.
