LadyBirders April Update
I had a fantastic time at the WMBC open day yesterday and I had lots of lovely people expressing interest in how the LadyBirders group is getting on and showing us lots of kindness and support so I thought I'd put a post up to show a brief summary of some of the lovely walks and places we visited throughout April!
We had 5 scheduled walks and we visited places such as Brandon Marsh, Kingsbury Water Park and had multiple trips to the wonderful Belvide reserve for photography workshops with fellow LadyBirder, Kerry France. We also met up with one another for ad-hoc walks in local areas and reserves ☺️ A handful of us joined the WMBC coach trip to Ynys-Hir and we also joined for the first West Birmingham branches walk at Sandwell Valley!
Here is just a small selection of photos that some of the LadyBirders took during…
The hubby and I have been WMBC members for a few years now but haven’t really engaged much with any other members, mainly through work and lockdown. Now we’ve retired, we’ve tried to get out more but mainly on Cannock Chase and Belvide, our closest WMBC reserve. When I heard about the Ladybirders, I thought it would be a great opportunity to meet some like-minded ladies - none of my girlfriends are birders - so I joined! So glad I did. Everyone is super friendly and I’m trying to expand my own knowledge without relying on my husband’s years of birding experience. I can’t wait for my next outing with them! I’m trying to go to other reserves and not just stick to Belvide. If you’re looking for gal pals who love birds, join us!! Karen B
