Britain's What's On Event Guide
Dawn Chorus
19 April
This is a unique opportunity to enjoy our wonderful wildlife reserve before daybreak as we celebrate one of nature’s finest spectacles.
Everyone, from those with a passing interest in wildlife to keen birders, can enjoy listening to the birds sing as the sun rises over the reed beds, lakes and ponds.
Our expert guides will take you around the reserve and help you identify the birds by their song.
At the end of the walk enjoy a hot drink with breakfast before you head off out again for a day of self-guided birdwatching.
Please bring your own binoculars and wrap up warm.
Important Information
The toilets and hides will be open, but our cafe and other facilities will not be open until 10.00am. Unfortunately latecomers will not be admitted once the walk begins.
You will be asked for dietary requirements at the checkout. Please note all food is prepared in an environment that is not free from gluten; there is a possibility of cross contamination.
