It’s traditional to wash your face in the dawn dew on the 1st May, but hardy volunteers and staff, joined by Alan Wood from Starling Learning, got a thorough wake up with wind and rain on our annual Dawn Chorus event.
It was all worthwhile when we heard and saw 13 different kinds of birds, some who were just visiting like the flock of Swallows, and some more familiar garden residents such as Blackbirds, Starlings and the noisy but tiny Wren.
We were left with lots of snippets of info: Long Tailed Tits aren’t Tits, and Dunnocks used to be called Hedge Sparrows even although they’re not Sparrows.
After sharing a lovely breakfast and hot cuppa we were ready to get on with the day, and The Hidden Gardens had added 2 new bird species to our list (swallow, lesser black backed gull).

The Parent and Toddler group had a lot of fun, planting up beans that they had grown from seed a few weeks ago. They also planted some tomato plants, and we are very excited about seeing how everything grows. Next week we will be discussing what other things we would like to grow in our barrels – it’s very serious business (if you don’t believe us, look at the photo above).
The Parent and Toddler group is on every Thursday (during term time), 1pm – 2.30pm. It’s for parents from G41/G42 Postcodes with children aged 0 to 5 years. This is not just for mums, we welcome Dads, Grandparents, aunties and carers too. Come along!
