Nightingales and Bluebells, Woods Mill (30/04/25) Wednesday, 30th April 2025 6:30 PM - 9:30 PM
Spring is a special time of year at Woods Mill Nature Reserve. Male Nightingales sing from the hedgerows and Bluebells carpet the ancient woodlands. As evening sets in, bird song is heightened, and colours soften before darkness descends and night-time creatures emerge.
Join Chris Corrigan, CEO of Sussex Wildlife Trust and expert guide, for a guided walk around the reserve.
The evening will start with a brief introduction and refreshments in the classroom before setting off. Chris will take you on a gentle amble through the woodland, pointing out different wildlife sights and sounds along the way.
