Dawn Chorus and Spring Arrivals

2 May

Occombe Farm

Join local bird expert Mike Langman at Occombe Farm and nature reserve for a dawn chorus. The hedgerows and woodlands should be alive with bird song including many of our summer migrants just back from a winter in Africa all desperately announcing their territories and hoping to attracting a mate. Mike will guide you through the sequence of songs helping you to pick out the many different but sometimes confusingly similar songs. The very best time to hear bird song is at sunrise, so it will be an early start. This is event is part of International Dawn Chorus Day.

The event will be finished off with a delicious breakfast at Occombe Farm Cafe. Breakfast includes the full Monty, tea or coffee, toast, butter & homemade marmalade.
