Early Start For Dawn Chorus Fans In Lincolnshire

Nature lovers are being invited into the forest at the crack of dawn to enjoy bird song at its most bewitching.

The Forestry Commission is staging a dawn chorus walk through 360 hectare (900 acre) Chambers Farm Wood, near Wragby, Lincs, on Sunday 1st May, setting out at 4.30am.

Birds often sing through the night but the peak is reached soon after dawn. Rangers will use hi-tech recording equipment to capture the sound.

The two hour walk over gentle terrain costs £5 and meets at Chambers Farm Wood Centre, signed off the B1202 Wragby to Bardney road. Booking is required on 01623 822447. For more information Lincolnshire’s woods and wildlife log-on to www.forestry.gov.uk/eastmidlands
