About the event

Meeting in the main car park, we’ll walk round the nature reserve listening to the lovely songs of the birds as they each take the stage in nature’s greatest symphony. We will have regular stops on the walk to take time to listen to the birds and identify some calls. This will be a lovely opportunity to start the day differently.

Car parking charge included. Please give your registration to the walk leader on the day. 

Tea, coffee and snacks included after the walk. If you have any dietary requirements, please provide us with this information when booking.

We'll be walking on accessible stone paths, though these may be slightly uneven in parts, so please wear sensible shoes or boots for walking, along with appropriate clothing for the weather.

Please note that sightings aren't guaranteed, however the best part about this event is to take in all the beautiful songs ringing out as the day begins. You are more than welcome to bring binoculars if you own some.

Disclaimer: In the case of very poor weather this event will NOT go ahead and refunds will be offered.
