Duck Detective Self-Led Trail

For aspiring detectives and nature explorers of all ages! Use your sheet to solve a trail of clues, games, and mysteries to uncover the secrets of local birds while exploring Morden Hall Park.

With Spring on the horizon, join our Duck Detective and take on a fun-filled family adventure to unlock information about our local birds.

The Duck Detective Trail is a self-led family activity featuring six engaging challenges for £2. You’ll Solve Word Games, Spot the Difference, Identify Habitats, Listen for Bird Calls, and much more as you explore the park.
