We held our first Dawn Chorus Walk early on Sunday (2nd May) morning up at the Whinney Hill woodlands in Accrington.
The walk was led by Dave Bickerton and we had five people attending under the covid regulations.
It was a lovely morning and all who attended seemed to enjoy it. We also learnt how to identify some birds from their birdsong.
