WILDLIFE MATTERS ……... to all of us ‘BIRDWATCHING FOR BEGINNERS’ Whether you live in Lymington, Pennington, Sway, Hordle, Everton, Milford-on-Sea or Keyhaven, within a few minutes’ cycle ride or walk, we have the most amazing coastal sites to visit. The coastal walk from Lymington to Milford is about 5 miles from end to end and is just full of birds to watch. Let’s have a look at what bird watching sites we have just inland of the Solent. Walking in a general westerly direction from Lymington you will first encounter Normandy Marsh and Lagoon. Next you have Eight Acre Pond and Maiden Dock. Oxey Marsh and Lagoon are next, followed by Pennington Marsh and Lagoon. Further west you will encounter Butts Lagoon and Fishtail Lagoon, the latter so-called because the lagoon is said to be shaped like the tail of a fish! Keyhaven Lagoon and Marsh are next with Iley Point, Iley Pond and Avon Water the furthest points west before reaching Keyhaven hamlet and the infamous Gun Public House. All these sites (excluding the Avon Water and the pub!) are managed by Peter Durnell, who is the Hampshire County Council’s land manager, or Bob Chapman of the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust. Still heading west you will come to Saltgrass Lane Marsh. Next you will see Mount Lake before you arrive at the Crabbing Bridge at the south end of New Lane. You can either walk up Hurst Spit and head south-east towards Hurst Castle or continue to Sturt Pond nature reserve and further on to Rook Cliff and Hordle Cliff where inland birding sites run out. Bird Observatory and Bird Hide: Along this outstanding birding walk you will come across the Milford Conservation Volunteers’ (MCV) bird observatory at The Pans (on the right just before you get to Keyhaven hamlet). This is accessible via a key-fob available from the MCV. See contact info at end. The bird hide at Sturt Pond, situated between The Marine Café (white building) and Hurst Depot (big black NFDC storage shed) is open to the public (free access) all year round from 9am till 5pm or dusk if earlier during the winter. Birding for Beginners: The hide and the observatory are the designated sites for sessions especially designed for youngsters (accompanied by an adult or group leaders) and beginners to birdwatching. These sessions are free (though bird food donations are always welcomed). They are held, between 10am and noon, at the bird observatory on the first Saturday in the month and at the bird hide on the third Saturday of each month. Telescopes and Binoculars: The MCV has recently purchased seven pairs of excellent 8 x 40 binoculars for use by anyone without a pair during these Please mention Your Village when responding to advertisements beginner sessions. Telescopes are also available to share to help identify birds further away. No need to pre-book, just turn up and our expert birders will be on hand to help.
