About the event

Are you curious about the bird species found at Walthamstow Wetlands? Or perhaps you just want to know a little more about the birds that share our city.

This beginner-friendly walk is perfect for those wanting to boost their bird-brain, as we'll be sharing identification tips along the way.

This gentle walk will be led by a member of London Wildlife Trust staff and will follow reserve paths, though there may be some slight inclines. Strong stout footwear is recommended. The walk will last approximately 1.5 hours and will be fully outdoors, so dress for the weather! We have a limited number of binoculars to lend; please bring your own if you have them.

This event is aimed at adults aged 18+, but can be inclusive for young people aged 11 and above, who must be accompanied by an adult.

Further information will be sent out prior to the event.
