Guided Walk: Experience the Dawn Chorus
Join in International Dawn Chorus weekend as we help you decipher this spring phenomenon. Close your eyes and soak up the sound of the birdsong as it gathers from a single voice into the crescendo of a full orchestra. Our experts will help you pick out the individual virtuosos and learn to recognise their particular songs that together, make up this wonderful dawn soundscape. After sunrise, we’ll finish off with a well-deserved breakfast of croissants and hot drinks.
