“Jack was a brilliant guide with encyclopaedic knowledge and the ears and eyes of a hawk. It was brilliant how many birds were pointed out to us either by sight or sound but I also loved the little snippets of wisdom that Jack imparted. Not only was it a thoroughly enjoyable experience but I came away having learnt so much.” – Attendee on 2024 Dawn Chorus Walk
Join us for the unforgettable experience of a Dawn Chorus Walk with BBC Springwatch’s bird expert Jack Baddams in the beautiful surroundings of Haddon Medieval Park, as the wildlife wakes up on a Spring morning.
In these exclusive events, go behind the scenes into the private parkland that surrounds Haddon Hall to discover the huge variety of bird life in this ancient, undisturbed landscape. A recent survey found 58 different species making their homes here, including 12 species on the Conservation Red List and 11 on the Amber List. For 2-3 hours, walking at a gentle pace with plenty of opportunities for observation, Jack will escort you around the different habitats within the Medieval Park and pass on his incredible wealth of knowledge about our feathered friends.
These events are suitable for everyone over the age of 16 with a reasonable level of fitness.
Your ticket includes a complimentary tea, coffee or soft drink in our restaurant after the walk, as well as half-price admission to Haddon Hall and its beautiful gardens on the same day.
Haddon Hall is a privately-owned estate, and one of the only houses in England to have remained in one family’s ownership for its entire existence. Your support enables us to protect the buildings and precious landscape here for the future.
