Walk Maps and more at Bird Hide

A recent article about Local Walks (click here to read) has prompted Keith Metcalf of the Milford Conservation Volunteers (MCV) to let us know that the Walks Maps are also available from the Bird Hide at Sturt Pond where there is an honesty box for people to put in their £1 coins. 

A 'Second-Hand' Book Rack has now also started at the Bird Hide and again there is a separate honesty box for that and finally, also at the Bird Hide we have installed an RSPB Pin Badge Box for anyone interested in collecting the many RSPB badges that not only includes lots of birds, but also butterflies, animals and bugs...and guess what?, there is also an honesty box there for these too. These boxes are emptied every day so that there is never any build up of cash left there.

Sturt Pond Bird Hide can be found in Hurst Road, Milford on Sea. Between The Lighthouse café/bar is a large black shed building and next to this is a gate leading into the public Bird Hide, which looks across the 27 acre Sturt Pond local nature reserve.

Keith has also informed us that he is forming the New 'Wings' Birding Heritage Group in the New Year. This is being set up primarily for pre-school nursery and junior schools and will include 'nature-story-telling' about real British wildlife and talks aimed at youngsters to give them a grounding at a very early age about what surrounds them in Milford-on-Sea and Keyhaven. Keith already has three young Milford Mum's and a granddaughter who have agreed to be his 'nature-story-tellers'. As they say; 'Watch this space!'
