Forster Memorial Park and Waterlink Way Warbler Watch

Every year millions of small warbler birds arrive from Africa to breed in the UK. The most common are Chiffchaff and Blackcap; but in Lewisham in 2022 a minimum of five different species were recorded in the borough.

We will be carrying out a survey on Saturday 11th May, along a stretch of the Waterlink Way and Forster Memorial Park. You can be a complete beginner with no prior knowledge of birdwatching to take park.

On Saturday 11th May meet at 8am in Forster Memorial Park by the cafe (near Longhill Road entrance).
