Great Fen Dawn Chorus Guided Walk

Join a member of the Great Fen team on a guided walk of Woodwalton Fen National Nature Reserve. Your guide will help you identify which birds are singing as the sun rises over this historic wildlife site on Migratory Bird Day. Remember to bring your binoculars, warm clothing, walking/wellington boots and your travel mug full of your favourite morning brew.

We will also be celebrating International Dawn Chorus Day, which takes place on the first Sunday in May, and is the worldwide celebration of nature's greatest symphony. All across the world people rise early to revel in the sweet sound of birdsong, from rattling wrens in Rotherham to crooning cowbirds in the Caribbean.

Cost: £12 Wildlife Trust BCN Members, £18 Non-member, plus Eventbrite fees.

Time: 5.30am-7.30am

Pre-booking is essential.
