Spring walk 2013. National Trust for JerseyFollowing up the very successful Spring Walk, now we have a chance to catch up with the project’s latest news and witness the progress made. We will see the grazing herd of Manx Loaghtan sheep, the bracken clearance works and the conservation fields that are in full bloom to feed our local birds throughout the winter. We hope to see the chaffinches, linnets, goldfinches, skylarks and song thrushes amongst other birds feeding in the conservation crops and learn about the findings of the north coast breeding survey that was carried out in the spring.

While we are on the cliffs we will look out for the choughs and learn how the programme to return these stunning birds to the Island is progressing. We can see the release aviary and get the latest update.

Please meet in the Upper Car Park (above the Priory Inn) at 10.15.

    • Rosie, as dogwalking is a major activity on the north coast it would be very good to have a responsible dogwalker along on the walk. You will be very welcome.
