Guided walk at Parke: Birdsong

A gentle morning walk around the beautiful Parke estate (maximum of 2 miles). Learning about the local wildlife with a focus on enjoying and identifying birdsong.

  • Booking essential

Community Ranger and bird enthusiast Toria will guide you across the Parke Estate (maximum of 2 miles) - stopping regularly to enjoy the birds.

This walk is perfect for those just starting to learn about birds and identifying them by their song. At this time of day the birds will be up and about, while not too many people are, and as the dawn chorus fades it can be easier to identify individual songs.

Sorry, this walk is not suitable for dogs.
