Description

Join us on this exclusive early morning, behind-the-scenes walk to get closer to the managed farmland parts of the reserve and hopefully find a range of songbirds alongside large flocks of others you might see on your Big Garden Birdwatch.

Large flocks of small farmland birds - particularly linnets and reed buntings - feed on our bird cover crop, along with flocks of goldfinches and chaffinches and other more familiar garden birds. These in turn can attract merlins, sparrowhawks and hen harriers to hunt. The sheep pastures on Burton Point are a regular feeding ground for winter thrushes, green woodpecker and curlew if conditions are wet.

Please note the wildlife spectacle of this event is somewhat weather-dependent; a cold, hard winter will push more birds to the west coast, so we'll keep our fingers crossed!

Wellies are recommended with warm, waterproof clothing essential, and bring binoculars if you have them. Treat yourself to a cup of our excellent bird-friendly coffee and warm up bedside the wood stove in the visitor centre afterwards. Places are limited so advanced booking and payment are essential.
