Saturday 10th January  2025. 10am to 4pm (Field meeting)

Cardiff New Year Birdwatch

The Cardiff Naturalists' Society have again invited Wildlife Trust members to come along to their annual New Year Birdwatch.  Led by Rob and Linda Nottage, the day will start at the car park in Cosmeston Country Park, on Lavernock Road Penarth.  (what3words: relaxed.dressings.telephone).

In the morning’s circuit of the park, the main interest will be the waterfowl on the two lakes, but we’ll also look out for birds and other wildlife in the reedbeds, grassland and woods.  The route is a mixture of tarmac tracks, firm paths and possibly a little muddy or wet ground – but no stiles. Dogs are welcome but must be kept under close control.  At the carpark there is a café serving hot and cold food, drinks, and toilets.

How long you stay is entirely up to you, but in the afternoon we may visit the banks of the River Ely in Penarth and proceed to the Cardiff Bay Barrage.  It may depend on recent sightings and the weather!
