About the event

Join us for a unique morning to observe the wonders of birds and nature!

Watch how the experts carefully catch, identify, measure, and ring birds - you'll learn more about your favourite species while getting up close to the birds themselves!

Bird ringing is the practice of attaching a small, individually numbered metal or plastic tag to a wild bird's leg. This allows researchers to identify individual birds and track their movements, lifespans and other vital data. The process helps in understanding bird populations and their life history, contributing significantly to scientific research and conservation efforts.

After the ringing demonstration you are welcome to join us for a bird inspired day up until 1pm - including a small brunch and hot/cold drinks.
