Come and hopefully experience the song of the Nightingale.

NO booking Required

Everyone is invited to come along on free guided walks this spring to experience one of nature’s wonders – the song of the Nightingale

You don’t need to be a bird expert, or know anything about Nightingales, volunteers from the RSPB’s Medway Local Group will help you understand where and what to listen for. 

The Nightingale is a bird that has enchanted writers, poets and composers over the centuries because of the power and virtuosity of its song, and that it sings all day and on into the night when other birds have fallen silent. It really is something to marvel at when in full voice.

It is easy to take the Nightingale for granted in Kent and on the Hoo Peninsula where there are good populations at the RSPB reserve at Northward Hill, they are also at Chattenden Wood, Lodge Hill, which hosts the largest numbers of any site in the whole of the UK and is the only site protected specifically because of its Nightingales

However, this is a species in peril. In the last national survey in 2012 there were just 5,500 singing males remaining, down 90% in the last 50 years, and it is now on the Red List of our most endangered birds. This is a bird for which Medway should be proud and protective.

Walks last about two hours, but we will only be walking about a mile in total. Unfortunately, because of the terrain, the walk at Milton Creek is the only one suitable for wheelchair users.

Walks take place in varied weather conditions and terrains; please therefore ensure you have suitable clothing and footwear for the occasion

If the weather forecast is inclement, to confirm that the walk is going ahead.
