Dusk Chorus – a birdsong walk
Explore the Sharpham Estate – and the sounds of the birdlife here – with expert Mike Langman.
He’ll guide & inspire birdsong fans, from raw beginners to seasoned listeners, with his observations, facts and knowledge about our feathered friends, their habits and habitats.
At this time of the year, many different bird species are returning after overwintering in warmer climes, and will be in full song establishing their territories and attracting mates.
Sharpham is home to a variety of winged creatures, from tiny firecrests and blue tits, to ravens and raptors.
