Half-day birdsong workshop

Saturday 12 June, Lewes, East Sussex

With the rules relaxing, I'm pleased to be able to offer an in-person 'walkshop' in June, in Lewes in East Sussex. 

In this half-day outdoor workshop we will explore how to identify common resident and summer visiting birds on the wild edge of Lewes, East Sussex.

The ‘walkshop’ includes:

• Before the day, access to step-by-step audio lessons on how to identify 5 key species of woodland and wetlands - reed warbler, sedge warbler, treecreeper, blackcap and song thrush - by sound.

• A gentle 2.5-hour walk around wet woodland, reedbed and river’s edge in Lewes.

• Potential species encountered will include the five ‘targets’ above, plus wren, robin, blackbird, dunnock, chaffinch, greenfinch, goldfinch, common crows, tits, great spotted woodpecker, chiffchaff, common whitethroat and more.

• Tea, coffee and cake, and a sit-down Q&A session to end the morning.

• Easy access by bus and rail.

• Small group size (maximum 10 participants).

• Starts 8am central Lewes, finishes midday.

• £45 per person (or £30 for Birdsong Academy course graduates)

• At least 10% of ticket revenue will go to a Lewes-based wildlife conservation project.
