A family-friendly birdwatch led by local birding expert and dedicated volunteer, Andy Leat.
No booking required. Suggested £4 donation per person on the day* (free for under 16s).
We will meet at Heanton Court car park and walk along the Tarka Trail, looking out over the estuary for returning wading birds. The Tarka Trail is an easy and flat tarmac path, with a short, sloped path leading down from Heanton Court car park to the Trail. Please wear sensible footwear and warm and waterproof clothing – parts of the Trail can be quite exposed to the elements. There will be an opportunity to use a telescope or binoculars to get a closer look at our feathered friends. Some binoculars will be provided but feel free to bring your own.
This walk is suitable for all ages from 6yrs upwards and anyone interested in learning more about the local birdlife. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
Unfortunately, dogs are not permitted on our guided wildlife walks, as dogs on leads can still cause disturbance to wildlife. Additionally, if more than one person joining the walk has a dog, this could cause some friction. We apologise for the inconvenience and hope you can still join us. Thank you for understanding.
PLEASE NOTE: assistance dogs are welcome. If you have any questions, please contact us via email: [email protected] or telephone: 01271 817171.
