Join us at RSPB Garston wood to embrace the sunrise to the sound of an all-natural choir. Not only will you get to experience the sunrise in a beautiful setting but there will be plenty of opportunity to learn about the different woodland birds, their calls and how to ID these species. Whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced birder there is something for everyone. A walk not to be missed!
