GO: Birdwatching for Beginners (Sandwell Valley)
Some suggest we should hold more midweek daytime events for those who are free then (rather than say in the evenings or weekends).
This is a short social walk around the nature reserve with plenty of stops to admire the birds and other creatures around the lake and surrounding habitat, assisted and enlightened by your RSPB volunteer tour guide. So let's combine a hobby with exercise and fresh air!
