Newport Wetlands
International Dawn Chorus Day Guided Walk
As the sun rises why not join us for a very special wildlife experience to hear the magical Dawn Chorus at Newport Wetlands.
This spectacle of sound will include not only the more familiar garden birds but also some of our star species.
Listen out for a booming Bittern or calling Cuckoo and hear the difference between a Reed Warbler and Reed Bunting… it is well worth the early start.
This is an opportunity to visit the reserve before anyone else arrives and soak up the sound of spring birdsong.
Guides will be on hand to help with spotting wildlife along this exclusive walk. What better way to celebrate International Dawn Chorus Day.
Date & time: Sunday 4th May 5am-8am
Cost/Booking details: RSPB Member £13/ Non-member £16
