Britain's What's On Event Guide
Birdwatching & Wildlife Walk with Gary Hobson
Join us for a free walk to admire the birds and wildlife around Idle Valley with local birder, Gary Hobson!
About the event
Meet on Chainbridge Lane near the Beaver Tour car parking area, opposite the gate to the Water Ski Pit, for a loop to Neatholme Lane with birding from the viewing screens, and back via Cross Lane and Hawthorn Lane, looking for local resident and summering breeding birds and other wildlife.
Please text a message if you are participating in one of the walks so I know to wait if anyone is running late. We do have a WhatsApp group for these walks, I just need a mobile contact number to add anyone to it.
Gary himself was a founding member of local group, Lound Bird Club, is currently a volunteer for Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust at the Idle Valley Nature Reserve and committee member of the NWT North Nottinghamshire Local Group and was the former BTO Wetland Bird Survey (WeBS) Co-Ordinator for Nottinghamshire for a period of 10 years.
Please wear suitable clothing and footwear for the weather on the day and bring food and water as required. Toilets and café facilities are available during usual opening times.
All walks are free of charge but cash donations to Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust are very much welcomed. Donations can be given at the Visitor Centre or paid through our donation page.
