About the event

Ever wondered how some people are able to identify birds by just their sound? Cool right?! With Spring in full swing, when bird activity is at its highest, there's no better time in the year to learn bird songs...

In this 2-hour fun workshop, we will take a stroll around the wetlands and focus on the bird songs around us. One of the visitor engagement rangers, Lira, will teach attendees how to recognise and remember common bird songs. No prior experience is needed, just bring enthusiasm and curiosity :)

💸 Cost: 0 - £5 (*ticket price does not include the Eventbrite fee)

👟 What to bring: Comfy clothes, closed-toe shoes, and a willingness to get stuck in – we’ll take care of the rest.

Accessibility: We aim to make this event as inclusive as possible. Please get in touch with us at verangers@wildlondon.org.uk if there’s anything we can do to support you.
