People can celebrate International Dawn Chorus Day on Sunday (May 6) with an early morning bird walk around Stanwick Lakes.

People can join Ian to check the bird boxes around the lakes and, if you are lucky, get a glimpse of this year’s baby birds, including blue and great tit chicks.

And anyone who would like a bit of help identifying the birds you see flying around Stanwick Lakes can go along for the family bird walk between 10am and midday on June 3.

Booking for both of these events can be done via www.stanwicklakes.org.uk or by calling 01933 625522.

The cost is £2.50 for adults and £1.50 for children.

Binoculars are recommended if you have them.
