 Victoria Park is not only a green haven in the city centre for us humans. It's home to lots of our feathered friends too. You can find out more on 22 January at 11am when the park will host an Introduction to Birdwatching with the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB).  It's a free event and there's no need to register – just meet at the fountain in the park. You can find out more about our project to revitalise the park, and more events coming up, on the park's Facebook page or contact the team directly.Â
