The Summer Leys Watch “Taster” event took place on Sunday 10th April. Many families enjoyed activities such as pond dipping, bug hunting, making masks and raisin bird feeders. Some were even treated to a sighting of a grass snake! Some children put their bird spotting skills to the test, looking at displaying black headed gulls and a coot building it’s nest.

Saturday 10th April from 10.30am-12.30pm at Summer Leys Nature reserve
