Citizen Science Sundays: Conham River Park
Conham River Park, Bristol, BS15 3AW
Sunday 28th June 2026
BS15 is our next stop as we head to the banks of the River Avon at Conham River Park!
The idea behind Citizen Science Sundays is simple - the Bristol area is home to so many hotspots for nature, so we want to join forces with other like-minded locals and help to map the biodiversity found in and around our city, whilst taking time to appreciate the nature on our doorstep.
Bristol also has a network of dedicated postcode-specific wildlife groups, each with its own iNaturalist project. Visiting a different postcode each time, we’ll be heading to a green space within that postcode and spending a few hours combing the area whilst taking note of what’s growing, flying and thriving there.
Recording our finds using cameras, phones and the iNaturalist app, we’ll be contributing useful data which is available to scientists and conservationists worldwide, helping them to build pictures of biodiversity at all levels. We’ll also be taking notes of the birds we spot, before submitting our records to the Bristol Regional Environmental Records Centre.
Everyone is encouraged to join in regardless of level, from enthusiastic beginners to seasoned bird nerds. If you see something interesting but aren’t sure what it is, you can ask your fellow observers, or just snap a photo – we can always identify it later!
Our next postcode of 2026 is BS15, where we’ll be heading to Conham River Park, a woodland site bounded in curve of the River Avon. The site is looked after by The Friends of Avon Valley Woodlands, and promises a lot of interesting wildlife!
We’ll be meeting in the car park at the site - look out for blue RSPB t-shirts - for a 10am start, with further information being sent out just before the event. The no.44 bus stops along Memorial Road, with about a 15 minute walk down to the Park. Please try to use public transport, bike or car share, as the car-park can fill up. A coffee cabin and toilets are on the site.
These events are free to attend, but there’s also an option to donate. All donations will go directly to the RSPB Bristol Local Group, helping us to put on further events in the future.
