Join the Wyre Countryside team on this early morning birdwatch, where, hopefully, we will hear the chorus of bird song on the weekend of International Dawn Chorus day.
Bring binoculars, plenty of warm clothing and bring a hot drink. We will keep records of wildlife and share with the Lancashire Environmental Record Centre.
It may be a bit dark as we start, so please bring a torch just in case.

Suitable for all ages but no unaccompanied under 18's (parents/guardians must stay with children at all times).

Dawn Chorus and Croissants
Sunday, 5th May, 5am – 8am
Gisburn Forest
Soak up the joyful sounds of a waking woodland on this spring walk in Gisburn Forest, with Bowland Beat Forester, Iain Yoxall.
With Iain as our guide, we'll take a relaxing stroll along the tracks and trails, listening out for the birds and seeing what we can spot.
And to make the early start a little bit easier, we'll finish with coffee and pastries back at Gisburn Forest Hub.
Beginners very welcome. Under 18s must be accompanied by an adult.
Dogs on a lead accepted.
Booking essential. Please email sandra.silk@lancashire.gov.uk or phone 07973 923142.
