Dawn Chorus Walks, Bird Courses and Boat Trips

 

Ever wondered what the dawn chorus sounds like? Want to identify common birds near where you live? My walks and training sessions listed below are an ideal way of getting out early (or late), hearing the onset of spring, and learning who's who in the bird world.

Early Birdsong: Wildlife boat trips up the River Avon

 

In collaboration with the Bristol Ferry Boat Company we will leave the Bristol Harbour early to listen to the morning birdsong along the River Avon near Hanham. We hope to stop and turn off the engine to listen to the riverside sounds while looking for kingfishers, grey wagtails and grey herons.

Dawn Chorus Walks 2021 to be confirmed

 

The dawn chorus is the most amazing sound of spring when all birds sing together. If you have never heard it before the sound will simply blow you away. 

 

If a 5am or 5.30am start time is a little too early for your liking I also lead early bird walks that begin at around 8am ish.
