About the event

Join us as we search for clues left by the wildlife and discover what’s living in the reserve! Together, we’ll search for tracks, trails and other secret signs left behind by different creatures, before investigating real owl pellets to figure out what their last meal was!

Please note that this is a children's event and each family group must have at least one adult attending. Adults do not need to book a ticket. One accompanying adult per paying child is free of charge but any additional adults who are non-members will need to pay the nature reserve entry fee at the visitor centre, on the day (£5.50 gift aid/£5.00 standard entry).
