*New date* June Birdsong Academy Walkshop - Stanmer Park, Brighton

Learn the bird sounds of woods and parkland

In these half-day outdoor workshops, we explore how to identify common resident and migratory birds on the nature-rich edge of Brighton.

Each ‘walkshop’ includes:

• Before the day, access to step-by-step audio lessons on how to identify five key woodland species by sound
• A gentle 2.5-hour walk around the woodland and downland edge at Stanmer Park
• Potential species encountered will include Firecrest, Corn Bunting, Linnet, Whitethroat, Grey Wagtail, Goldcrest, Mistle Thrush, Nuthatch, Skylark, Green Woodpecker, Robin, Blackbird, Dunnock, Stock Dove, common finches, crows & tits, Chiffchaff and Blackcap.
• Tea, coffee and cake, and a sit-down Q&A session at The One Garden to end the morning
• Easy access by bus, rail, bike or car
• Small group size (maximum 10 participants)
• Starts 9.15am, finishes 12.45pm
• 10% of ticket revenue will go to a local wildlife conservation project

This workshop is led by Charlie Peverett.

ROUTE: The route for the walk includes an ascent of the downland from Stanmer Village, but it will be taken slowly. Walking boots are recommended.

COVID: The walk will be undertaken within current guidelines for COVID-safe participation in groups. If you test positive on the day of the walk your ticket can be transferred to a future date.
