The "Birds of Shropshire by Habitat and Season" course group will be at #VenusPool next Sunday, 28th September, from 9.30am.
The reserve may be a bit busier than usual, please park neatly! 🙂

#ShropshireBirding
Three Dunlin feeding, one of the passage wader species likely to benefit from the conservation work at Venus Pool.
Essential conservation work will be carried out at #VenusPool on three consecutive days from 30 September to 1 October. This will inevitably cause disturbance, including in front of the hides.
Helpers welcome! Meet at 10 am with gardening gloves, loppers etc, appropriate clothing.
