Winner of our Photography competition
Our "My Lodmoor" photography competition has been won by Lodmoor Friend Helen Beedell.
The aim of the competition, sponsored by 5J's Cafe, The Leisure Ranch and a Lodmoor Friend, was to find an image which summed up the unique qualities of Lodmoor Country Park.
Helen's Woodland Walk view perfectly illustrates the description of the park as "both a pleasant corridor and a place well worth lingering in" - and from next year this peaceful scene should be enhanced by the bluebells and snowdrops we planted this Spring.

Summary of April Bird Walk
Friends who joined the April Bird Walk led by the RSPB's Luke Phillips and volunteer Michael Morse were accompanied by exuberant birdsong as they were helped to identify a variety of birds in the park environment. Robins, chaffinches, blue tits, great tits, chiffchaffs, dunnocks, collared doves, wood pigeons, sedge warblers and even a marsh harrier were spotted by Friends strolling in the spring sunshine.
The next free Bird Walk will be in the Autumn.
The two first photos show the RSPB's Luke Phillips leading Friends of all ages on the Bird Walk, the third shows the beautiful daffodils in the April sunshine...
