  • Bird Ringing Demonstration

    Bird Ringing Demonstration

    Abbey Fields have organised a bird ringing demonstration on Sunday 12th June from 8.30 to 10.30am at the Croft Set Aside.

    Experts will explain about bird ringing and show tracking devices that are also used to monitor bird movements and migration. There will be a fun quiz to take part in too.

    Just pop along any time. We look forward to seeing as many children at the demonstrations as possible as there is nothing quite like the experience of getting really close to wildlife.
