Britain's What's On Event Guide
Nature Spotting Walk: Hidden & Camouflaged - Wildlife That Blends In
About the event
This month, we’re slowing down and sharpening our senses to explore the theme: Hidden and Camouflaged – Spotting the Wildlife That Blends In.
From bugs on bark to frogs among reeds, nature is full of clever disguises. On this relaxed and friendly walk, we’ll look closely for creatures and plants that are often overlooked — blending into their surroundings or hiding in plain sight. You don’t need any wildlife knowledge to join in, just curiosity and a sense of wonder!
Nature Spotting events are a monthly volunteer-led informal and friendly walk, where you can meet like-minded people. None of us are experts, but we share our knowledge and love for nature. Each month is a different theme.
The walk starts and ends outside our Nature Centre, which has a café, shop, toilet and baby changing facilities and our newly developed accessible Nature Garden with Sand Martin bird hide.
The walk starts promptly at 10am, so arrive by 9.45am to get parked and use the facilities, if required.
Please visit our website to reserve your place, but spaces are limited, so please let us know if you can't make it as we will likely have a waiting list.
Please note that whilst the walk itself is not charged, parking fees apply. This is waived for NWT members, Attenborough volunteers and staff who have previously registered their vehicles. For more information, see our parking page.
