A huge well done to Mark Stonebanks and the team that are the committee of the Friends of Fortune Green.On Saturday they had an open day type event with a exhibition of birds of prey.
To quote Camden Council website:
"Birds of prey fascinate people. On Saturday 22 March between 11am and 3.00pm you can get up close and personal with a range of native owl and other species, many of them rare.
"They will be on display as part of our ongoing work to raise awareness about nature conservation and offer hands-on opportunities for children and adults."
It was really stunning to see the birds up close. It was great to see how many people were coming along to what was a fairly smallish event - but there was a really steady trickle of people with the crowd rarely dipping below 20-30 people... Snapped this nice little image of local councillor Flick Rea and this lovely barn owl.
Fortune Green is a great open space and is really beginning to benefit from the enhanced care and attention that the Friends are bringing it.The litter has been minimised through a pretty intensive litter pick the other week, graffiti is dropping and being tackled as it occurs and the paving round the fountain has been improved.
We just need to get the fountain working again now (and a clever source says the pipes are all there - they just need connnecting up)
