From: 20/04/2012 To: 22/04/2012
London Wild Bird Watch 2012 LIVE - Nature on your Doorstep!
April 20-22nd London Wetland Centre SW13.
Our interest in the outdoor world is booming. Wildlife watching, particularly birdwatching has never been so popular. Birdwatching is officially the fastest growing pastime in the UK.
London Wild Bird Watch aims to create a unique blend of “Shop, Learn and Do” for everyone who has an existing or growing interest in bird and wildlife watching. That includes elite birders to people who enjoy feeding birds in their garden.
April at London Wetland Centre is a great time of year for spotting a wide variety of birds. Migrant waders are returning and summer breeding birds, such as sand martin, whitethroat and reed warbler will be arriving in force. Most birds will be settling down to claim their nest sites and territories in April resulting in a wealth of bird song, displaying and courtship rituals such as the elegant bonding display of lapwings. Look out for early chicks such as little and great crested grebe.
