Guided by Nature: Bird Walk for Beginners
Join Hardwick’s bird enthusiasts for a summertime bird walk.
Discover the joy of birdwatching on our Bird Walk for Beginners. Whether you are new to the hobby or keen to improve your spotting skills, this guided walk offers a relaxed way to explore our seasonal parkland, connect with nature and meet fellow enthusiasts.
We may see arriving migrant thrushes , Redwing and Fieldfare, early wintering wildfowl, and woodland birds fuelling up for colder months.
This guided group walk will take you on a circular adventure around the ponds and through wood pastures. These different environments are perfect for observing birds in a variety of habitats and discover more about Hardwick's birds.
Walk difficulty: This is a gentle paced walk through the park. It's not suitable for wheelchairs as there is some rough terrain.
