Residents and New Arrivals
Morning at 9-30pm
With our resident birds already in their territories, this month will see the arrival of visitors from the warmer climes of Africa. We will be looking for Warblers and Swallows whilst keeping an eye on the skies above us as resident Birds of Prey should be displaying in the lengthening days.
Duration of 2.5 hours
Walking a maximum of 2.5 to 3 miles over flat terrain at a steady pace. Boots required.
There is generally a charge of £16 per person which includes the walk and locally sourced refreshments and food.

On a general note, although these walks are bird orientated, we will also be looking at the Estate from a general nature perspective.
With these walks, please bring binoculars but some will be available to use on the day, don’t forget your cameras.
Local transport can be provided from the Lincoln area, just let me know if you book on one of these events.
