Birdsong festival at Pulborough Brooks

Over the bank holiday weekend we'll be celebrating brilliant birdsong and the other wonderful spring wildlife at Pulborough Brooks.

As well as our pre-booked 'dawn chorus' and 'not quite dawn chorus' events (see separate listings) our friendly volunteers will be out and about around the reserve throughout the day to help showcase our fabulous singers such as Nightingales and help you to spot wading birds out on the wetlands.

The woodland wildflowers are blooming and there's a lovely display of Bluebells on the wooded heathland trail.

In the visitor centre we'll be holding Binocular and telescope demo days on Saturday and Sunday with our in-house team of experts and guests from Viking and Swarovski optics. If you need help choosing a new pair of binoculars or a telescope or want to try out some of the new models we'll be delighted to see you.
