About the event

Every winter, 20,000 birds visit the Nene Valley Special Protection area (SPA) on their incredible migrations from the northern continent (Iceland, Scandinavia and Russia). Summer Leys provides the perfect habitat for overwintering birds, and the winter months can be one of the best times to spot some really great species.

Led by our knowledgeable staff and volunteers, these guided walks are the perfect way to learn more about our wildlife and meet like minded people, so we recommend coming along more than once as you'll see different things each month!

Please bring a pair of binoculars if you have some (we will have a few available to borrow on the day).

CAR PARKING: Car parking charges apply for Summer Leys and can be paid for on the day (card payments only). Parking for members of the Wildlife Trust BCN is FREE - Members MUST register their vehicles to access free parking, for more information please visit here.

Please note our visitor centre will be closed for the winter months on this date, the toilets will still be available for use.
