The good folk who braved the showers on June 6th 2009 to join the Parkwood Springwatch weren’t disappointed by a bit of bad weather. The stars of the show were the birds of prey, whose impeccable behaviour gave everyone a close encounter with giants of the bird world.
At the smaller end of the scale, newts and frogs, snakes and lizards slithered over children’s hands, and little fingers made pictures by felting wool. Exciting birds and insects appeared modelled in hay, wool and feathers.
