Winter is the perfect time for bird spotting as we can see more clearly through the trees without those pesky leaves getting in the way! This seasonal walk will focus on winter ducks such as goosgander, pochard, tufted duck and many more winter visitors!
The guided group walk will take you on a circular adventure around the ponds, through wood pastures, Lady Spencer’s Wood and looping back round. These different environments are perfect for observing birds in a variety of habitats.
Hardwick’s Bird Walk for Beginners is exactly that! Meet other enthusiasts and enjoy the fresh winter air.
