There are nests in three or four of the bird boxes, very pleasing. Sorry about the photo, neither the camera nor the cameraman is good enough for this type of photo but you just can see the parent and the baby almost ready to leave.

We had a good turn-out on a fine warm morning yesterday. Lots done, including preparing for more herbaceous planting, loads of weeding and some general trimming and tidying.

Thanks Julie!

A really busy morning weeding and tidying. The weeds are right in the middle of their annual spring spurt but they took a bashing this morning and the Friends will prevail!



Not a big turnout today but we still did lots of weeding and tidying plus some planting in the nature trail. There’s still lots of colour but the park is suffering from the drought.


Wall to wall sunshine at the park this morning. The main herbaceous border is being completely replanted and we got properly started today! Special thanks to Jen and Fiona of the Council for organising the plants and the planting and for all their help today. And yes, the last photo really is one of the sky over Trinity at 10.00 this morning. Even the East wind wasn’t too bad today!

TCV did a great job at the park again, digging clearing and generally making things better. Thanks guys, we really appreciate you help, so much so that we even let them stop for a well-earned lunch!


Starbank Park is looking wonderful this spring!
