Overview

An early start to catch the best of the spring bird activity in the Queen Elizabeth 11 Jubilee Woods between Heather and Normanton le Heath. Fingers crossed for a spectacular sunrise too (not guaranteed).

To avoid terrifying our feathered friends, no dogs (or any other carnivores) please.
