Bird migration is one of the wonders of the natural world. Join us at Walthamstow Wetlands to learn about the epic Autumn migration...
About this Event

In autumn, the UK becomes a temporary refuge for millions of birds that migrate from colder regions to escape the approaching winter and a lot of them can be seen around us in London!

From Redwings to Goldeneye, we will learn about some of the species that embark on incredible, often risky, journeys every year to spend the winter months in the UK. Which species do it, why they do it, and how?- are some of the questions that will be answered in this workshop.
