Cuckoos and other moorland birds

Event Date: 
16/05/2015 - 10:30am
Venue: 
Haytor, Dartmoor

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.

Please bring binoculars...
