Morning Bird Walk

Join Andrew Peel on a July morning for this birdwalk to see and learn about the birds that use Abney Park throughout the year. 

Abney's feathered residents include Tawny Owls, Sparrowhawks, Green and Greater Spotted Woodpeckers, and Europe’s smallest bird – the Goldcrest (weighing the same as a 20p piece). 

The bird population changes throughout the year. In summer they are joined by warblers such as Chiffchaffs and Blackcaps. Swifts feed overhead, and – surprisingly – Canada Geese and Mallard Ducks nest. In spring and autumn other species pass through on migration. And in winter, Redwings and Firecrests are often present.

Please bring binoculars if you have them. Participants will receive a bird ID chart.
