Saturday 8th August 20;00 - 21;15 

In partnership with the National Trust, join us for a guided bird survey around Sayes Court Park and help discover the birdlife living in and around this developing urban green space.

Led by local birdwatcher Andy, this friendly walk will introduce you to the birds that use the park and surrounding area at this time of year. Together, we’ll stop at different points to observe and record the birds we see and hear, contributing to a growing understanding of local wildlife in Deptford.

Whether you’re an experienced birdwatcher or completely new to bird surveys, this is a relaxed and welcoming opportunity to get outdoors, learn new skills and connect with nature close to home.
