About this Event

Our birds are at their most vocal during early spring mornings, and experiencing this stunning serenade is well worth the early start, trust us!

Your guide will take you on a golden-hour tour of Walthamstow Wetlands before it’s open to the public. You'll listen out for songbirds, spotting as many species as possible along the way.

This is a beginner-friendly walk and our knowledgeable guide will be happy to answer any questions.

The walk will follow reserve paths and there may be some slight inclines. Strong stout footwear is recommended. It will last approximately 2 hours and will be fully outdoors - so dress for the weather! We have a limited number of binoculars to lend; please bring your own if you have them.


What to expect

πŸ¦β€β¬› A barrage of beautiful birdsong from many species.

πŸ” Tips for bird ID using both sight and sound.

πŸŒ… Early morning access to the reserve.


This event is aimed at adults aged 18+, but can be inclusive for young people aged 11 and above, who must be accompanied by an adult.

Further information will be sent out prior to the event.

The birds on our reserve are wild, so we can’t guarantee sightings of particular species. However, this unpredictability is all part of the joy of birding!

All proceeds from this event enable our mission of nature recovery for a thriving city.
