OUR NUTWOOD BIRD REGISTER

We have created a register which is comprehensive and will be kept up to date.

YOU TOO CAN BE A BIRD OBSERVER

 Please tell us if you see any bird not on this list. Ideally the information should include date seen, location, any other details, and your name.

 We would also like to know about: 

• First sightings in the year of all warblers, including    blackcap
• Sand martins, swallows, swifts, and house martins
• Any sightings of siskins or redpoll, or any other unusual bird

 We'd love to hear from you

The register may take some time to load

 How it all begun....

David and Jean Roberts of Allestree started walking from Allestree down to Haslams Lane and the river Derwent back in 2001. They noticed less birds on the fields where turf is grown as twisted hawthorns were felled and concentrated on Nutwood. They started to keep records of numbers of each species seen and here is the result as it stands today.

David and Jean are members of Derbyshire Wildlife Trust, Derbyshire Ornithological Society, RSPB and Derby Natural History Society (David is Treasurer of the last).

73 bird species have been observed at Nutwood. This is the page where you can learn about these birds as we have a link to the relevant RSPB page for each of them.

If you think you have observed birds - or indeed other wildlife - contact Keith Dodd. If the observation can be authenticated, we will include it on this site with your name if you agree.

(We are planning to compile registers for mammals and butterflies next)
