Join us in the heart of the New Forest for a rare chance to experience one of Britain’s most secretive birds. At both dawn and dusk, Hawfinch gather in traditional roost sites — a spectacular event that few ever witness.
While at the roost you’ll learn about their behaviour, ecology, and conservation while enjoying the tranquil atmosphere of a winter woodland.
Highlights:
• Discover the fascinating world of Hawfinch through live fieldwork insights.
• Spot Hawfinch (and other finch species) with the aid of telescopes and binoculars.
• Enjoy a peaceful woodland walk in the soft light of morning or evening.
