LadyBirders May round up

Thank you to all of the WMBC for expressing interest and showing support to the LadyBirders! Whenever we're out and about we often get approached by WMBC members asking how we're getting on so here's a round up of some of the things we go up to in May: We had 9 scheduled walks and we visited places such as Earlswood Lakes, RSPB Sandwell Valley, Wyre Forest, multiple trips to the wonderful Belvide reserve for photography workshops with fellow LadyBirder Kerry France and we also visited our other the fantastic Ladywalk and Blithfield reserves. We also met up with one another for ad-hoc walks in local areas and reserves then a handful of us joined the WMBC coach trips to Minsmere and Ynys-Hir!We had a really exciting opportunity to be joined by ITV at Ladywalk for an interview that was aired on the local news (https://www.itv.com/watch/news/women-only-birdwatching-group-surges-in-popularity/82lp288) , we had a stall at the WMBC open day and ran two LadyBirder walks and we also launched our new Walks and Events Facebook page 🎉

Here is just a small selection of photos that some of the LadyBirders took during May…
