Hook with Warsash – Winter Wildlife Walk
NOW FULLY BOOKED
Join our friendly rangers to see what wildlife we can spot around the Hook with Warsash Nature Reserve area.
This is a relatively short and gentle walk with plenty of time to stop and enjoy the wonderful wildlife that can be seen around our coast over the winter time. Our rangers will be on hand to guide and show you the birds spotted along the way.
The walk is aimed at those who are new to, or less-experienced at bird watching. Families and children are always welcome (under 18s must be accompanied by an adult). Bring binoculars if you have them but don’t worry if you don’t, you can enjoy views of the birds through the ranger’s telescopes.
Some of the species we might see include dark-bellied brent geese, wigeon, dunlin, oystercatcher, black-tailed godwit and greenshank – you might even see the local harbour seal!
Booking details: All our walks are free, but booking is required as places are limited, so please reserve your place by emailing Ranger Tony: anthony.knox@hants.gov.uk
