Join us for this family-friendly event at Bowlees Visitor Centre. We will start the day with a walk led by RSPB Conservation Advisor Janet Fairclough, learning to identify and appreciate the bubbling call of the curlew. We will record our sightings on the iNaturalist app, contributing to our conservation work. Back at the Visitor Centre there’s a chance to warm up with hot drinks and baked goods from the Falls Café. Then you will spend time with local artist Sara Cox on a creative journey to explore the shape and patterns of the curlew, making a 3D mobile.

Refreshments and art materials will be provided. We can provide binoculars, although please feel free to bring your own.

Please note:

• The walk will be over rough terrain.
• The art activity will use blockprinting ink, which may stain. Please ensure you wear clothing you are happy to get messy, or bring an apron or artshirt.
• Bring clothing and footwear for all weathers, as the weather can be unpredictable. We have a selection of wellies and waterproofs if you don’t have your own.
