Cuckoo Day Photo Walk

The 15th April is traditionally known as Cuckoo Day - a day when we can expect the arrival and sounds of cuckoos on the air. The date or arrival will change from year to year, however, this date is a great chance for us to see if we can search out the sounds of spring arrivals on the air. Perhaps we can even try and get a photograph of the birdlife and cuckoos as we go on a Photo Walk for Cuckoo Day. 

This walk will be around 4 miles in length and hilly.  Wear sturdy walking boots and clothing suitable for the weather conditions on the day and remember to bring your own refreshments, especially a drink if its warm.
