Bird Walk 15 January 12

Posted by Des Bowring on January 15, 2012 at 1:30pm 0 Comments

A beautiful sunny morning brought out the birds and the watchers and we were treated to a taste of winter and the promise of spring. The full list is as follows:

Fieldfare - first spotted by Simon as it fed on the ground. Unusual to see one 'on the deck' in the park. 

Redwing - 2 or 3 birds and one showing particularly well.

Blackcap - at least 1 over-wintering bird. A brief burst of almost full-blown song was unusual so…

Bird walk 20 Nov

Posted by Des Bowring on November 20, 2011 at 12:56pm 0 Comments

It was a quiet start to our monthly stroll round the park this morning and I did wonder if we'd see anything at all. However, we were later rewarded with superb views of sizeable Starling and finch flocks making it a spectacular end to this year's bird walks. The full list is as follows:

 

Starling - a notable and noisy influx of these birds, many no doubt arrivals from the continent.

Greenfinch - a good showing of 10+…

Bristol Planning Applications

Posted by Fo SAP on November 10, 2011 at 6:15pm 3 Comments

From time to time  we hear of Planning applications to BCC that are of local interest.

They will be posted here, and deleted when the consultation period has passed.

Sometimes we even get to hear what the results are - in which case they will also be posted.

Not an easy bird to photo, but I think you've captured its jizz, Des.  House is a bit out of focus though!

I didn't really relish the idea of going in to the park after dark to check out whether the owls were still present, but you've got me really scared now, Des.

Wellington bomber memorial appeal - a fitting success

Many thanks to everyone who helped with the successful appeal.

The total income after we receive the final instalment from Bristol City Council will be £5,173.03. Of this we spent £3,982.87. The cost of the memorial itself, including installation, was £3,932.50.

This will leave us with the sum of £1,190.16 for maintenance and improvement to the memorial site area.

The £1,190.16 will be kept in with the FoSAP current account, but treated as ring-fenced funding.

 

Further information about the Wellington bomber that crashed into St. Andrews Park on 30th April 1941 can be found here

Video footage of the memorial service can be found here:

***** Notice boards have started appearing in our park! *****

I thought you might like to see the notice boards which were cemented into place this morning (10/01/2010), the finger post goes in tomorrow in the middle of the park near the café. A nice start for the year!

Best wishes,

Martin Weitz
