Second of three seasonal wildlife walks in Thamesmead with ornithological investigator J D Swann with an emphasis on observation of birds, local ecology and history.

Starting by Southmere Lake outside Thamesmead Social café, Bow Arts Lakeside Centre, Bazalgette Way, London SE2 9DA. This route will include Manorway Park, the Thames Path and a visit to TUMP 39 before walking by the canals of Thamesmead back to the cafe. WC's and refreshment available at Thamesmead Social Café.
J D encourages participants to bring binoculars and cameras for documentation and at the end there will be a review of what has been seen. There will be J D Swann stamped notebooks available free for people who wish to document observations.
As it is maximum 30 people, please only book if you can attend the date. All under 18's must be accompanied by an adult. Photos / video may be taken to document the walk so please let J D know on the day if you do not wish to be included.

The walk will go ahead apart from in extreme weather so please wear clothing and shoes appropriate for the conditions.

These walks are supported by Bow Arts.
The walk is in association with London Architecture Festival (1-30 June) #belonging
"The idea of belonging in this walk is from a multispecies perspective, how wildlife belongs in the urban environment. It will start at the 1960's Lakeside Centre, and explore the canals that wind through different decades of housing in Thamesmead to the unique haven of TUMP 39, a rewilded victorian munitions magazine."

Good Summer Birding!
