Binoculars up! Walk with expert birdwatchers to identify local species and record your sightings on eBird. Perfect for nature lovers of all levels. 

This guided bird walk introduces participants to local bird species through observation and identification in a natural setting. Experienced birders lead the walk and explain how sightings are logged using the eBird app.

The activity is suitable for adults, families, and older children with an interest in nature, including beginners. The format is a structured group walk, with time for questions and discussion as birds are observed along the route.
