Bird Walk at Barking Riverside

On Saturday November 13^th, London Wildlife Trust will be leading a guided walk across the riverfront at Barking Riverside to witness spectacular numbers of birds feeding on the Thames mudflats.

The Thames is an important place for wildlife, especially for birds at Barking Riverside.  At low tide, the birds flock to the site as over 200m² of mud is exposed, revealing lots of delicious bugs to feed off. November is a particularly good time to visit each year as migratory birds “stop off” on their way to their winter home.

The Barking riverfront forms part of the Barking Riverside new housing development. The riverfront, has open public access, so anybody can visit any time, however the bird walk on 13^th November will provide a fantastic opportunity to get to know the site with a guide and learn more about the birds that you can find here. The walk starts at 10.30am at Barking Riverside Ltd Marketing Suite, off Renwick Road. Please contact the Barking Riverside Conservation Officer to book or find out more information on fbarker@wildlondon.org.uk or 07971 077 095.
