Birdsong fills every corner of the farm - Spring has arrived! It is the perfect time to discover the many species of birds we have here and witness their phenomenal dawn chorus.
Join us for a guided walk around the farm to explore the changing songs and habits of birds as they enter the nesting season. This event will take place early in the morning when the calm, early morning air helps birdsong travel further - it is a beautiful experince! You'll learn to identify the sights and sounds of different species while also understanding how our sustainable farming methods are helping birds thrive.
You will be guided by ecologist and long term volunteer at Kindling Farm, Andrea Sarkissian has been carrying out regular bird surveys here at the farm and will share her wealth of knowledge about the activity and habitats she has discovered.
The walk will start promptly at 8am. Join us from the earlier time of 7.30am for coffee and a sweet breakfast treat!
Please bring binoculars if you have them and a small notebook to write down your findings (we will have some here for people to use).
You must register to come to this event as facilities and parking are limited.
This activity is aimed at beginners and can be suitable for all ages. However, please be mindful that it does involve walking across uneven ground for over an hour in potentially chilly morning weather while being quite quiet so that we don’t scare the birds away, so it might not suit everyone!
The farm is about to undergo refurbishment so unfortunately it is not wheelchair accessible at the moment. We have limited facilities with one indoor toilet which is up a set of stairs. As a working farm, the ground can be uneven in places making activities in the fields difficult for those with limited mobility. If you have any questions about access, please contact: hayley@kindling.org.uk
