Each ‘walkshop’ includes:

  • Before the day, access to step-by-step audio lessons on how to identify five key woodland species by sound

  • A gentle 2.5-hour walk around the woodland and downland edge at Stanmer Park

  • Potential species encountered will include Firecrest, Grey Wagtail, Goldcrest, Mistle Thrush, Nuthatch, Treecreeper, Skylark, Green Woodpecker, Robin, Blackbird, Dunnock, Stock Dove, common finches, crows & tits, Chiffchaff and Blackcap.

  • Tea, coffee and cake and a sit-down Q&A session at The One Garden to end the morning

  • Easy access by bus, rail, bike or car

  • Small group size (maximum 10 participants)

  • Starts 9.15am, finishes 12.45pm

  • 10% of ticket revenue will go to a local wildlife conservation project

This workshop is led by Charlie Peverett.
