Guided walk: Summer Birds
About the event
Join us for a guided walk of Sevenoaks Wildlife Reserve, taking some time to observe the birds found there during early spring. Your guide will be one of the reserve's dedicated volunteers, who knows exactly what to look out for!
The breeding season should now be in full swing, and although the quantity of birdsong will have reduced from its spring peak, the young of some species should be visible, including the geese, ducks and great crested grebes. On a sunny day, swifts, swallows and both species of martins may be feeding over the lakes in good numbers, and summer is also the peak period for kingfisher sightings as they hunt for fish to feed their young. June is also one of the best months for butterflies and dragonflies on the reserve.
We recommend you bring a pair of binoculars to make the most of this walk. It could be muddy underfoot, so please wear sturdy footwear.
After the walk the Visitor Centre will be open so you can enjoy a hot drink or browse the selection of wildlife books and other items in the shop. Toilets are available at the start and end of the walk. This walk is recommended for over 12s only.
