Check out the 'bird walks' at the Forest Centre, Marston, in the next couple of weeks, 4 and 11 May. We have done both the Dawn Chorus with Breakfast and the Dawn Chorus for Late Risers. The latter sounds like a bit of a contradiction. But you get the drift. The birds themselves get up early with the express intention of having breakfast
Dawn chorus with breakfast
Late risers
Be warned, the Full Dawn Chorus for humans comes before the breakfast and my, have you earned it. Assembling around 4 am you can't see much but the air is a kaleidoscope of noise. The pro-birders who lead the walks have an amazing capacity for recognition.
The Commentree newsletter states:
At last spring has arrived and its warmth has brought with it a wave of spring migrants; some a bit late but all the more welcome for it. Loads of blackcaps, swallows, reed warblers, chiff-chaffs... oh joy!
If you'd like to feel the force of all this spring mayhem but don't know a cormorant from a cuckoo, why not join our expert volunteer leaders on one of two guided walks in the Country Park over the next few weeks? Booking is essential for both
