Bird spotting in the park
Local resident Philip has given us a run down of some birds in the park: these include goldfinches (pictured) in the tall trees, blue and great tits and wrens nesting at the edge of the park. Blackbirds and robins are still singing especially towards dusk.

House sparrows can be heard chirruping in thicker bushy patches (eg near the swings); parakeets seen and heard all over the park and starlings in groups on the ground. Philip says the pond is a great asset and many birds are relying on it for drinking water. He's heard a warbler (pictured) singing in the trees behind the pond for the first time this year.

Coronavirus – let's look out for each other
We hope you and your families are safe. Help protect our community and our park: please limit your visits to Myatt's to one hour maximum per day and maintain social distancing (2 metres apart from other park users). This allows more people to benefit from nature, prevents overcrowding and reduces risk of Covid-19 infection.
