The magic of sunrise with the soundtrack of bird song
Possibly the best time of day to experience Bore Place - before the hustle and bustle of daily life really gets going. Those who embrace the early start will be rewarded with the dawn chorus ringing out from the woods and hedgerows. Join local ecologist and bird expert, Tom Forward, for a guided walk that will help you identify and learn the different songs of our resident birds. This walk will tune you in to the sounds of your garden and local area and build your confidence in picking out different songs.
If an early start isn’t quite your thing, Tom's also leading a Birdsong Walk begins a little later in the morning!
