TAKE NOTICE – Howdon Wetlands with Northumberland Wildlife Trust
This hidden gem plays host to a variety of beautiful birds, whether they’re here to breed, passing through on migration, or staying for the winter. We’ll explore Howdon Wetlands, do some bird watching at the hide and then head back to Royal Quays Marina.
Binoculars provided (but feel free to bring your own). Please wear sturdy boots and suitable clothing, and bring a packed lunch.
This event is free, curtesy of Northumberland Wildlife Trust but places are limited and booking is essential.
A cuppa is an important part of the day, and sharing it with friends just adds to the enjoyment. To help us understand the impact that our activities and events have on Cafe 32 can you spare two minutes to complete our short survey? Link below.
