Dawn Chorus at Woods Mill (01/05/2022) Sunday, 1st May 2022 4:15 AM - 7:00 AM

Tutor:  Michael Blencowe

The sound of the spring dawn chorus on our Woods Mill reserve near Henfield is something you have to experience. It’s certainly worth getting up early for!

We will meet in the car park at 4.15, listening for the song of the Nightingale. We will then head straight out onto the reserve and listen while the birds awake and will identify the individual bird’s songs as they join the chorus.

As the sun rises we will walk slowly around the nature reserve looking out for the various singers in the Woods Mill choir.

Then we’ll our way back indoors between 6.00 - 6.30am for a very welcome continental style breakfast!

Suitable for beginners, anyone interested in birds and birdsong or anyone who just wants to experience this marvellous natural performance. 

Meet in the car park at Woods Mill, Henfield, West Sussex, BN5 9SD
