About this Event
Join a member of the Great Fen team on a guided walk of Woodwalton Fen National Nature Reserve. We will help you identify which birds are singing as the sun rises over this historic wildlife site on International Dawn Chorus Day. Bring your binoculars.
Taking place on the first Sunday of May, International Dawn Chorus Day is the worldwide celebration of nature's greatest symphony. All across the world people rise early to revel in the sweet sound of birdsong, from rattling wrens in Rotherham to crooning cowbirds in the Caribbean.
