The full day Wakelyns Bird Walks are designed for absolute beginners to more experienced bird watchers with a focus on garden and woodland birds.  Even those that struggle to confidently separate Blue Tits from Great Tits will get much from this course. 

We will take the day to walk round explore Wakelyns’ unique agroforestry areas to highlight identification techniques that highlight bird’s behaviour, shape, plumage, songs and calls, the key to enhancing learning experiences.

Each day will start at 9.30 am (5.30 am for a ‘Dawn Chorus Walk’, to get the best of the birds, with a lunch break – with a delicious lunch from Henrietta Inman at the Wakelyns Bakery included.

£50 per person, or £25 for people on low incomes.

Morning coffee and Wakelyns Bakery Lunch included.

We also run one hour ‘taster walks’ during some of our community/open days.

“Where to start on such a magical day?

Well, we started with the best coffee in town taken with some very special home-made cake and biscuits, consumed al fresco on a beautiful Sunday morning. David [Wolfe] then told us about how his father in 1994 had introduced and developed what today is one of the oldest and most diverse organic agroforestry sites in the UK – a man ahead of his time!

The day was full of birdsong with the Turtle Dove playing the star role. Others in the orchestra included 30 identified birds plus the Broad Bodied Chaser, several hares, roe deer, bee orchids….and amazing Head Chef and baker Henrietta and her team and Steve Piotrowski, bird song identifier extraordinaire!

And, finally, special thanks to David [Wolfe] and his delightful team for the best value £50 around!”
