About the event

Whether you're curious about local wildlife or looking to start a new hobby, this relaxed event is perfect for beginners of all ages. Led by friendly guides, we’ll explore the reserve’s lakeside paths and then spend time in the bird hide, helping you spot and identify some of the birds that call this special place home. Expect to see and hear waterfowl, woodland birds, and maybe even a few surprises! No experience needed — just come along and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature.
