One impulse from a vernal wood
May teach you more of man
Of moral evil and of good
Than all the sages can

This day course led by Ed Drewitt will provide you with expert guidance and tips on identifying common winter birds around the fields and woodlands of Folly Farm. The day will include a chance to glimpse a great variety of local bird species such as woodpeckers, tits and finches as well as many of our favourite winter visitors such as redwings and fieldfares. We will also discover more of the important identification techniques through images and sounds back in the farmhouse.
