For those who missed a guided walk on Dawn Chorus day on Sunday 5th May, there is another chance on 11th May at Marston Vale at the later time of 10.00 am (not quite dawn, you might think!) just a stone’s throw from Milton Keynes, over the border in Bedfordshire: Millennium Country Park, Marston Moretaine, MK43 0PR

The Marston Vale website www.marstonvale.org contains news of many other interesting activities, many of them family-oriented, but some more specialised.

Also of interest is the BCN Wildlife Trust website, wildlifebcn.org, which has details of a wide range of activities and events, including their programme of Wildlife Training Workshops, which are open to members and non-members alike.  There are also useful identification guides on the website.

And although MK is actually within the ambit of BBOWT (Berks, Bucks and Oxon Wildlife Trust), much of what BCNWT manages and arranges is as close or closer to MK than BBOWT’s equivalents.
