Poynton Park 19th February 2012
We wanted to visit Poynton Park because on of our birding group had been there recently and had seen Lesser-spotted Woodpeckers there. The web site describes the site thus : “The park is situated just a few minutes walk from the centre of Poynton village covering 21 hectares including the pool, which is fished by Stockport Federation Angling Club. A surfaced circular path takes you from the car park at South Park Drive, alongside the pool, the lime avenue and through the grassland. There is a linear public footpath from the car park at Anglesey Drive, which takes you alongside the western edge of the pool. The grassland is maintained solely by the sheep grazing.”
