The Dawn Chorus is one of the UK’s best wildlife spectacles – so why not join us to immerse in Arne’s own (almost) Dawn orchestra! It is an event not to be missed, as we take you through our woodland to identify and learn the calls of our resident and migrant songbirds.
Take the opportunity to get out onto the reserve early, watch the sun breakthrough the trees, and hear the variety of bird song as they set up breeding territories, and defend these against competing birds. The walk will start at 7am by the Welcome Hut.
The walk will finish with a visit to our café for a complimentary breakfast bap and hot drink, included in the ticket price (gluten free and vegan options available).
Please note: The walk may be cancelled at short notice if adverse weather conditions are forecast. Please bring your own optics and refreshments as you wish.
