Join the Community Rangers and CVST volunteers for a special early morning walk around the serene Hendre Lake. Immerse yourself in the enchanting sounds of the dawn chorus and experience the first rays of sunlight break through as the lake bursts into life. You’ll be guided by the Community Ranger team and experienced volunteers, who will help you identify the different bird calls and share fascinating insights into their behaviour.
What is the dawn chorus?
The dawn chorus is the symphony of song performed by birds looking for love, and to defend their patch. In spring, as the days lengthen, wildlife starts to think about the need to breed. By mid-March lots of our resident birds are in full song and in mid-April, the riot of sound is in full effect as millions of migrant birds pour back in from Africa to their summer homes. In early May the chorus is at its peak !
Further details
Please arrive promptly at the meeting point to ensure you don’t miss the start of the dawn chorus walk. Wear appropriate footwear and clothing for the weather conditions. The walk will take around 2 hours and will not be too challenging. It is highly recommended that you bring a pair of binoculars.
