About this Event
Join our Sweet Briar Marshes warden for a special birdsong walk held at the height of the late-spring chorus, when the reserve’s warblers, finches and other passerines are at their brightest and most vocal. This relaxed, guided session will help you tune into the sounds of the marshes, learn how to identify key species by ear, and gain confidence in noticing the patterns, rhythms and calls that define Sweet Briar at this time of year.
Along the way, you’ll also learn how to use a birdsong identification app to support your learning, deepen your understanding and continue practising after the event. Whether you’re new to birdsong or looking to sharpen your skills, this is an ideal opportunity to explore the site with an expert who knows its wildlife intimately.
Discover the voices of Sweet Briar Marshes and experience the reserve during one of its most vibrant moments.
Please note that this event is suitable for adults only
Please meet at the BMX track at Sloughbottom Park, What3Words ///riots.warns.thanks
Everyone’s welcome at Sweetbriar Marshes
As part of our commitment to making nature accessible for all, and to ensure local communities benefit from Sweetbriar Marshes, we’ve introduced the following ticketing model:
Free Community Tickets
We want everyone to feel welcome at Sweetbriar Marshes.
If you live within around a mile of the site - or if cost would make it difficult for you to join, please choose a free community ticket.
No questions asked - just come and enjoy the event.
We’ve noticed that a few free places sometimes go unused, and as a charity, that can really add up. If you can’t make it, please cancel your ticket at least 24 hours before the event so someone else can take your place. We often run a waiting list and would love to offer your spot to another local resident.
Standard Tickets (Members / Non-Members)
If you don’t live locally, or you’re able to pay and would like to support our work, we’d really appreciate a small contribution towards keeping these events accessible for everyone.
Your ticket helps us cover basic costs and continue offering free community places at future events.
Come and be part of your local wild space - everyone’s welcome.
Accessibility
We want our events, and nature itself, to be accessible to everyone. If you have specific needs or requirements, please get in touch at [email protected] so we can support you wherever possible. Please be aware that the natural terrain and access conditions may limit what we are able to provide on site.
