Daisy Nook Species Monitoring – Willow Tit Survey Workshop

Daisy Nook Species Monitoring – Willow Tit Survey Workshop

Join us for a day at Daisy Nook to take a look at the UK’s fastest declining resident bird species.

Learn about willow tit ecology, survey methodology and logging records during a workshop at Daisy Nook Garden Centre. This in-person workshop will have a classroom session to introduce the species before getting some hands-on survey experience at Daisy Nook Country Park. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned wildlife enthusiast, this event is perfect for anyone interested in conservation and biodiversity. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to contribute to important research while having a blast!

The data collected by local volunteers will contribute to citizen science records, as well as supporting the management of local habitats for Willow Tits.
