The 2024 program is finished and the 2025 program is not yet finalised.

As the light seeps into the sky and the sun rises we will cruise up river to hear (and see some) birds calling as the dawn chorus starts, rises, and falls, typically we hear around 25 different species of bird, an ecologist will talk about the birds and identify the calls and anything else we see or hear.

A leisurely cruise down the river, experiencing 2 locks and back, an ecologist will  talk about the birds and identify anything we see or hear, possibilities of turtle doves, kingfishers, yellow hammers and barn owls but nothing in the wild is guaranteed.

As the sun sets and dusk descends we will quietly cruise upstream to see and hear bats, often up to 6 different species, An ecologist will provide information about bats and help with bat identification as we go, bat detectors are provided.

All Experiences are planned around 2 hours on the boat with an ecologist providing recognition and information on the wildlife and fauna we see and hear. See home page for prices
