Join us for a free walk to admire the birds and wildlife around Idle Valley with local birder, Gary Hobson.

About the event

In this session we'll be birdwatching from Chainbridge Scrape East viewing screen.

Gary himself was a founding member of local group, Lound Bird Club, is currently a volunteer for NWT at the Idle Valley NR and committee member of the NWT North Nottinghamshire Local Group and was the former BTO Wetland Bird Survey (WeBS) co-ordinator for Nottinghamshire for a period of 10 years.

Please wear suitable clothing and footwear for the weather on the day, plus food and water as required. Toilets and café facilities are available during usual opening times.

Please note that this event is from the Chainbridge Lane car park.  From Mattersey Road, head east on Daneshill Road through Lound. At the crossroads, continue straight on to Chainbridge Lane. Continue straight as the road surface changes to loose stone for 200-300m. Just past a red gate on your left you’ll see the car park on your right.

All walks are free of charge but cash donations to Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust are very much welcomed. Donations can be given at the visitor centre or paid via our donation page.
