16th May - Bird Watching with David Winnard

£30.00

Saturday 16th May
8am - 10am
Your ticket includes a snack from Hawarden Estate Farm Shop, plus tea or filter coffee on arrival.

The grounds are the home of some wonderful bird species such as both the Green and Great Spotted Woodpeckers, Nuthatch, Treecreeper as well as Sparrowhawks, Tawny Owls and Buzzard.

During this morning walk across Hawarden Estate we’ll be looking at how to identify a variety of species that occur on this great estate. We’ll do this both visually as well as learning some of the bird songs and calls we encounter on our walk. This will be a relaxed walk and birdwatch through garden, open countryside and some woodland as we look to encounter a wide array of species.

If you have ever wanted to learn how to identify the commoner species of bird but did not know where to start, or you’re interested in which bird species are on the estate, then this is the event for you!
