🦉 Discover Bore Place after dark on a walk in search of owls, hares and deer.
Join us for an adult-only evening walk with bird expert Tom Forward, exploring the sights and sounds of Bore Place as night falls. Listen out for the calls of our resident owls and learn more about these fascinating nocturnal hunters, their behaviour and the habitats they depend on.
Using thermal imaging equipment, we'll also look out for hares and deer as they become more active after dark. Along the way, Tom will share his knowledge of the wildlife around Bore Place and help us discover more about the creatures that come alive at night.
Of course, we'll be hoping to see and hear owls, as well as spotting hares and deer, but wildlife doesn't always follow our plans! Please bear in mind that sightings aren't guaranteed, and the animals may not always cooperate.
Important info
- This walk covers uneven terrain and long grass over a distance of approx. 2.5km.
- We recommend wearing sturdy footwear, such as walking boots or wellies, and dressing in warm clothing suitable for the weather.
- Sorry, no dogs except trained assistance dogs.
- This is an adult-only walk, if you would like to bring your children, please book this one: Family Owls, Hares & Deer Walk.
