Join us for a winter wander along the coastline as we discover the incredible wildlife that calls our shore home during the colder months. Along the way, we'll see how many of our Twelve Birds of Christmas we can tick off!
We'll explore the different bird species that utilise this special stretch of coastline, learn how to identify them, and discuss why this area is so important for wintering wildlife. You'll also pick up simple ways to help protect these birds and share your knowledge with family and friends.
This event is open to all ages, and well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome.
Whether you're a seasoned birder or simply curious about our feathered winter visitors, this is a wonderful opportunity to connect with nature, learn something new, and enjoy the crisp coastal air.

We'll round off the walk with a festive treat, please feel free to bring a flasks of warm drinks to enjoy as we go. 🎅✨
