If you enjoy birds, join us for Birdwatching: Spring Arrivals to take a closer look at the species arriving here in the UK.
The Spring arrival of birds heralds a change in the season and a welcome change in the weather. On this Birdwatching: Spring Arrivals course, we will investigate where our birds come from and where they go to.
Please note: This course is not part of the Biodiversity learning framework, this course is organised by Flatford Mill and the tutor.
