We held our 2nd
annual celebration centred around all things shorebird. As the breeding season for some of our
shorebirds is coming to a close the event was designed to raise awareness of
the work we do as Natural England, let people know how they can help and also
have some shorebird fun. Lindisfarne NNR staff and volunteers set up crafts and
games at the Window On Wild Lindisfarne for 3 hours and the event was well
attended with visitors to the island. There was lapwings and little terns to
make along with colouring in for the younger children. The little tern make and
take linked in with our migration game where kids (and big kid it has to be
said) threw a little tern beanbag to their wintering grounds in Africa, gaining
points for stopping at a few places to refuel on the way. The event was well
received by all and everyone went away with a better understanding of what we
do! I’ll let the photos do the talking……
