About the Event
Sharpen your winter birding skills at the Winter Birding Brush-up on Saturday Dec. 6.
This is your opportunity to explore with other birders, prepare yourself for the Christmas Bird Count and see which birds you can spot out on the water, among the hedgerows and in the autumn trees. No experience is necessary!
After meeting outside the Nature Centre, we’ll scan the bay from the pier, then take a wander up the road along the estuary. We’ll also check out the surrounding fields while sharing tips and tricks that can help you find and identify more birds this winter.
The terrain we’ll cover is fairly flat and less than one kilometre long. Our stroll along the road will be made at a leisurely pace.
Upon returning to our starting point, we can visit Pender Chocolates for a hot beverage and other treats. Of course, the Nature Centre will be open…
