Bird ringing session at Lower Moor

Simon Tucker and his team demonstrate the art of bird ringing, giving attendees a chance to see some birds very close up.

At this time of year there should be some early summer migrants such as blackcap and chiffchaff, as well as uncommon residents like Cetti's warbler.

Cost: £5. Booking essential. Refreshments not provided.

The demonstration will take place at the picnic site adjacent to the wildlife area. For further information and to book, please contact Robin Griffiths on 01793 751081 / 07761 290725 or at [email protected]
