Wild Amersham and Amersham Band will hold a Dawn Chorus Walk in May to listen to the wonderful early morning song of native birds. Sign up here.
The dawn chorus is one of the delights of Spring, with birds of all feathers singing to welcome a new day. Wild Amersham is organising a Dawn Chorus walk on Sunday 5 May led by bird expert Simon Nichols. Come and learn lots about birds, their song and behaviour and enjoy the peace of an early spring morning.
Simon started birding aged 11 and has not stopped since. His passion has taken him all over the world, but it is in the UK and particularly in Buckinghamshire that he spends most of his days looking for birds. Simon runs the Scarce Bird Network in Bucks, the twitter bird account @bucksalert and is a committee member of the Bucks Bird Club. In his spare time he runs bird ID skills workshops and does commercial and non-commercial bird surveys across the UK. Simon has an infectious way of sharing his love for birds, and we are sure you will hear, see and learn a lot on this walk, which starts at Amersham Band at the corner of School Lane and Church Street. There is free parking, but please use sustainable transport if you can. It will be a very early start at 5AM – but definitely worth it! And there will be croissants and coffee at the Band at the end of the walk.
This walk is organised by Wild Amersham, part of Sustainable Amersham. We are a local community group that engages people in the enjoyment and protection of local biodiversity through events and natural sites we help manage. We do not charge for events but to cover our costs politely ask for a minimum donation of £2 if possible.
