Later with larks​

If dawn is too early for you, come join me on a mid-morning mosey through the woods to learn our local birdsong.  The birds will still be singing and we will also spot spring flowers as we go.  You'll take home a personal birdsong guide, with your own notes. Enjoy elevenses of coffee, hot chocolate and croissants on the downs, with the larks pouring their song.

Brilliant bugs
​Tuesday 12 July 1-3    Home ed special
The invertebrate life of the Bluebell Wood is fascinatingly rich - come and rummage under logs, on leaves, in the pond, in the meadow to find as many different kinds as we can.  What do they eat? What is their life cycle? Who eats them? Make a model bug to take home.
