Are you ever wondering what that bird is calling in the reeds, hedges and trees? Come along to our guided walk where you will gain tips and tricks from knowledgeable experts on bird communication. Our resident expert is great at detecting what bird is calling as well as performing some calls himself to help you learn! The wetlands are alive with so many different calls from small warblers to migrants like redwing and fieldfare at this time of year, as well as waders, wildfowl and a great variety of raptors. It is a great place to start learning or add to your skillset.
