FREE Pulsar Wildlife Tour 2026 - Stop 10: Lackford Lakes Nature Reserve

For stop 10 of the Pulsar Wildlife Tour 2026, we’re heading to the Suffolk Wildlife Trust’s Lackford Lakes Nature Reserve.

Join us for an evening of talks, Q&As, viewing sessions, and nature walks.

Get hands-on with all the latest Pulsar Wildlife devices, designed to enhance your detection capabilities during wildlife observation, bird watching, and ecological surveys.

We’ll discuss how these devices work, what kind of kit is available — from thermal to digital to multispectral — and then take any questions. We’ll then head out for a thermal guided nature walk around the reserve, so you can see for yourself how thermal can help you streamline your observation capabilities.

This event is FREE but ticketed and limited to 40 spaces.

Our event is completely free to attend!

Although we ask for a £5 deposit, this event is completely free to attend.

To help us plan effectively, reduce no-shows and ensure places don't go to waste, we ask for a £5 refundable deposit (inclusive of Eventbrite’s standard booking fees*).

We understand plans can change, so we've kept our refund policy simple and fair:

• If you attend: You'll receive a full refund of your £5 deposit, including all booking fees. The event costs you nothing!
• If you cancel at least 7 days before: You'll receive a full refund of your £5 deposit, including booking fees.
• If you cancel within 7 days of the event: You'll receive your £5 deposit back, minus Eventbrite’s booking fees.
• If you don't attend without cancelling: Your £5 deposit will not be refundable.

Why do we ask for a deposit?

We want everyone who books a place to have the opportunity to attend. A small refundable deposit helps us minimise empty spaces and make the most of our events.

We know unexpected things happen! If circumstances beyond your control prevent you from attending, please get in touch. We're always happy to review exceptional situations fairly.

If we cancel the event, you'll receive a full refund, including booking fees. Your statutory rights are unaffected.

*Eventbrite Booking Fees

Our £5 refundable booking deposit includes Eventbrite's booking fees.

Eventbrite's standard UK booking fee is 6.95% + £0.59 per ticket (approximately £0.94 on a £5 ticket).

Info: Our team of experts will talk about how thermal imaging works and how it can enhance your observations in daytime and nighttime conditions. We'll cover the product range, each device's capabilities, digital features, and more, along with some use cases to demonstrate their versatility as a piece of invaluable wildlife observation kit.

Info: The team will spend a few minutes distributing devices to attendees and going through the basics of setup and operation.

Info: We'll take a few minutes before the thermal guided nature walk to grab a hot/cold drink and a bite to eat at the centre's cafe.

Info: We'll head out onto the reserve with thermals in hand. With a large nature trail and several hides available through the reserve, this is the perfect opportunity to see how thermal imaging works, revealing a hidden world of wildlife that would otherwise remain unseen. For photographers, there may also be some excellent opportunities to snap a few shots. We recommend wrapping up warm and wearing a pair of walking boots or other appropriate footwear.

Info: We'll take another refreshments break at the centre's cafe, with time to warm up after the nature walk.

Info: Once you're back in the warm, we'd love to hear your feedback in order to make the thermal wildlife observation experience even better. Our team of knowledgeable Pulsar Wildlife experts will be able to answer any questions and offer the advice needed to make the most of thermal.
