Our Young Nature Watch group (entirely composed of young at heart this time!) heard 25 species of bird on our dawn chorus walk between 5 and 6.30 AM:
Did you know that May has the International Dawn Chorus Day?
On Saturday 13th of May, we are going on a Dawn Chorus walk around Tisbury with local birders Andrew Graham and Debbie Carter. Please meet at the Nadder Centre car park (SP3 6HJ) at 4.50 am ready to depart at 5 am prompt. We will do a round walk listening to the amazing vocal display that birds do this time of the year, and Debbie and Andrew will give you tips to identify birds through their song. We will be back on time for breakfast at your own home or at one of the great local cafes! As usual, members and under 21s come free. Non-members need to pay £2 for every event. Our annual membership fee is only £10 per adult. If you have not paid online, you can do so by cash on the day! In April, we were extremely lucky in being able to visit a beaver site near us. We didn't see any beavers but we saw plenty of evidence, which was fantastic to see for the first time in this area, after hundreds of years of no beavers. We are very grateful to our local guide for taking us there and the landlord for allowing us to visit the site (which is not open to the public).
We only advertised this amongst our YNW mailing list, as we wanted to keep attendant numbers small due to the nature of the site. If you regret missing this, why not join our mailing list so you can find out on time about these events? Get in touch if you would like to join. |
