Beddington Farmlands

A few pics from last week's Beddington Farmlands Big Day!

The BFBG led six walks between 5am and 3pm on the restricted area of the site, which provided an opportunity for the local and wider community to get a glimpse of the site in whole. In total, 97 members of the public were welcomed onto the site and led by BFBG members and the site warden.

It was an incredibly positive event and great to increase the bird group's outreach and engagement with others also invested in the site. Over 60 species of bird were recorded, along with plenty of Butterflies and plants.

A huge thanks has to go to the site manager from Valencia Waste Management and the site warden. This event would not have been possible without their help and support on the day.

Sign up for the Beddington Farmlands Big Day on Saturday the 9th of May!

The Beddington Farm Bird Group and site warden are hosting a series of guided walks throughout the day, providing an opportunity for the wider community to view areas of the site that are not currently visible from public areas.

The event starts at 5am, kicking off with a dawn chorus walk. Another five walks follow, which include one focused on butterflies and another for botany. These walks start at various times, with the final one ending around 3pm. Each walk will take around two hours.
Early May is well-known for being a great time of year for scarce and rare species of birds to be recorded on passage at Beddington Farmlands, so there is always a chance for some decent highlights on the bird walks.

This event also coincides with the Cornell Lab eBird Big Day, which celebrates World Migratory Bird Day. Our walk leaders will aim to keep a note of all species spotted and contribute to global data collection. Get involved whilst on our walks and help us try to record as many species as possible on the day!

MEETING POINT – Mile Road gate (What-3-Words = ///spray.park.spider)
