Morning Chorus Bird Walk with Rob Frith

Join us for a relaxed and informative morning at Vallis Farm, timed to coincide with the early bird activity without the pre-dawn start.

We’ll meet at 7:30am at the farmhouse entrance. After a hot drink to get us going, we’ll head out on a guided walk around the farm with ecologist and bird expert Rob Frith, exploring the land and listening to the morning chorus as it builds.

Rob will help us identify the birds we hear (and hopefully see), explain what’s happening ecologically at this time of year, and share insights into how the farm supports wildlife. With a bit of luck, we may also spot barn owls that regularly hunt over the fields.

After the walk, we’ll return to the farmhouse for a cooked breakfast made with locally sourced ingredients, including eggs from our rescue hens. We’ll eat together around the table, with time to ask Rob questions and chat more broadly about birds, farming, and the wider landscape.

The morning will wrap up at 10:30, leaving you well fed, well informed and hopefully feeling a little more connected to the land around you.

This is one of two Morning Chorus Bird Walks. 10th April and 24th April

Cost: £28 per person

A thoughtful, unhurried way to start the day, for anyone curious about birds, ecology, and the rhythms of a working farm.
