About the event

Are you curious about the bird species found at Woodberry Wetlands? Winter is a great time to get to know them!

The colder months are a good time to spot different species of duck, as large numbers migrate to the UK every winter. They are joined by visiting winter thrushes like redwings, and many songbirds can be more easily seen in winter amongst the bare branches. 

This beginner-friendly walk is perfect for those wanting to boost their knowledge, as we'll be sharing identification tips as we spot as many birds as possible.

This gentle walk will be led by a London Wildlife Trust staff member 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.
