It’s described as “the world’s biggest, longest and wildest bird watching tournament”, but is a friendly competition to see how many birds can be identified. If you’ve never tried bird watching this is a great introduction, and you can start your very own bird life list.

When: Saturday, May 1, 8:30 am -noon and 1 pm - sunset.
