Just a love of nature and a curiosity about the birdlife that lives in our woods. No special equipment required but binoculars might be useful if you have them. A mobile phone, camera or notebook may come in handy if you want to record what we hear or see. Fairly easy walking: we are likely to be out for about 2.5 to 3 hours.

Dress for the weather on the day and wear suitable footwear. It may be May and early morning, but think waterproofs, layers, rain hats or sun hats, and walking boots or wellies. Bring your own snacks and something to drink too.

Children under 16 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian, please.
