Prestwood Nature Programme 2021

It is too early yet to say whether Corvid 19 regulations will be relaxed sufficiently for our walks to take place but we have been able to arrange a programme of talks which,  if necessary,  will be held over Zoom.

Enjoying the Outdoors for all the family

The Beauty of Flies

Locked down again? If you are lucky to have a garden or access to some green space this is the time of year to spot a greater number of bird species as they visit our gardens, hedges and ponds in search of much needed nourishment to survive winter. Soon we will be able to participate in the annual Big Garden Bird watch run by the RSPB.

Don’t be misled, you don’t have to have a “Big Garden” to participate. You can do it anywhere. You just need an hour, anytime of the day. Daylight is recommended though. This year the count will take place at your chosen hour over the weekend of 29-31 January.

Do take part, it’s great fun and let’s face it how many other things do you have in your calendar for 2021!. If you don’t know your birds don’t worry there is a really helpful easy bird spotters guide to record your results in the RSPB birdwatch bumpf.

If you’re lucky you might see some of these. They are in Prestwood right now.
