Event details

Join knowledgeable nature enthusiast Robin Perutz for a unique exploration of the campus. On this guided walk, expect to see some of the birds which visit our campus at this time of year and look out for places to spot other flora and fauna later in the year. We'll also talk about how to record wildlife spottings on campus.

Please note that this walk will be over uneven ground and will be outside. It may be wet underfoot. Please wear suitable clothing and footwear. We won't always be on footpaths. In the unlikely event of extreme weather conditions, this event may be cancelled.
