GO: Birdwatching for Beginners (Walk, Sandwell Valley)

GO: Birdwatching for Beginners (Sandwell Valley)

Some suggest we should hold more midweek daytime events for those who are free then (rather than say in the evenings or weekends).

This is a short social walk around the nature reserve with plenty of stops to admire the birds and other creatures around the lake and surrounding habitat, assisted and enlightened by your RSPB volunteer tour guide. So let's combine a hobby with exercise and fresh air!

Prebooking: Although this was unnecessary last year, and you could just turn up at 10am to pay on the day, this is no longer the case, due to previous attendance volatility. This event must now be pre-booked online, and due to popularity, you should book well in advance.

Clothing: Suitable Outdoor Clothing/footwear, according to the weather
