Be up with the larks for the Dawn Chorus walk 2014

Dawn Chorus Walk 2014Dawn Chorus Walk 2014

As usual, Steve Hallam will be leading this walk around Hillhouse Wood, which will afford the opportunity to see and/or hear nightingales and many other brilliant dawn choristers.  Last years walk saw and/or heard 21 different varieties with a record attendance of 32 walkers!

The walk will start from the Old Church at 3:45am on Saturday 17th May.  You should bring warm clothing, stout footwear, a flask of hot drink and a torch – please note that the walk will only go ahead weather permitting.

If you haven’t been on one of these walks before you will find it a rewarding and delightful experience at a very special time for the wood’s varied wildlife; if you would like to know more then check out this report from last years dawn chorus walk.
