Liquorice Park is home to lots of different bird species. During June and July 2021 we asked everyone who was comfortable identifying birds, to report bird sightings in the park via Bird-Survey for Liquorice Park (link opens in new tab). Intent was to keep track of them all, and ensure that the park provides the right habitats for them to feed and nest. The reporting system is still live and we would ask you to continue using the system, particularly if you spot something unusual.
Bird-Survey Online Reporting System
Liquorice Park has been added as a location on an existing local web based system (Bird-Survey) which is hosted on the Long Leys website. To report a bird sighting, in Liquorice Park, Bird-Survey requires you to enter a name and email address, together with the neighbourhood (Liquorice Park) and habitat (see below map for Liquorice Park habitat areas). Select the bird seen, whether it was a sighting or a report of nesting and then the date it was seen. Then press submit. Users also have the option to register as a regular user of the system, allowing them to login and review previous bird sightings they have reported. An example screen is shown at the bottom of this page.
Original results from June/July 2021 can be viewed, without logging in, at Bird-Survey: Summary of Bird Sightings.
Thanks for your support.
Liquorice Park Habitat Areas
Seven habitat areas have been identified on the map below. These should be used as a broad area rather than a precise location; the photos below the map also give a visual guide to the habitat areas. If you are not in one of these locations, or simply don’t know, then simply choose “other – Liquorice Park” as the habitat.
