Whatever your experience come along and improve your bird identification skills
Drop-in session - improve your bird identification skills, whatever your level of knowledge, with the help of a knowledgeable and experienced volunteer guide.
Meet in the Tower hide at Seaton Wetlands. Telescopes and binoculars are available for use in the hide free of charge during the session.
Join Dartmoor National Park Ecologist Naomi Barker on a walk in the Haytor area to see if you can get a glimpse of one of spring's most evocative birds. Cuckoos have suffered a huge population decline in recent years and in many parts of the country their distinctive call is no longer heard. Naomi will guide you on a fascinating walk in which you will learn more about the work being done to find out what is causing the population decline in this species.
You will also learn about other birds nesting on the moor, such as skylarks and yellowhammers.
Back by popular demand - another birdwatching event for children

Space is limited, so booking is essential for this event, which will take place...
