Wildlife Walks – Dawn Chorus

Monday 3 June 2024, 5.30am

Dawn Chorus Bird walk – with Dr Madeline Holloway

Take a stroll through the woods with Madeline, listen to the dawn chorus, identify the resident birds and the visiting birds and learn about why they are present.

Madeleine says: “We’ll be walking slowly through the woods, listening and looking out for the breeding and territory calls of our resident breeding birds, such as song thrush, mistle thrush and many others at this time of year.  We may also catch glimpses and hear the calls of early summer migrant breeding birds, including warblers such as chiffchaffs and blackcaps just arrived in from the Mediterranean and partly south of the Sahara as well as willow warblers that have arrived from tropical Africa.  Its a glorious time of year to be out early in the morning – the trees are not yet fully out so you can easily see and hear all our birds in full chorus.”
