Nightjar and Wildlife Walk

 

This session starts with a talk in the classroom from our Wildlife Warden about the nocturnal creatures of the forest and, in particualr, about Nightjars.
This will be followed by a walk in the woods to look out for and listen to these rare birds.
Transport will be required to travel the short distance to the walk site.
Children must be accompanied.
