About the event

Join us for a guided walk to spot some of the wildlife found along Chesil Beach and Fleet Lagoon.

Chesil Beach and Fleet Lagoon are internationally important areas for nature conservation, supporting a great diversity of wildlife and their associated habitats.

Throughout the guided walk, we will be looking out for birds, plants and any other species that can be found along the nature reserve, including oystercatcher, little egret and rock samphire. There will be plenty of time to ask questions and more information about the nature reserve will be given throughout the walk.

This event is suitable for beginners to birdwatching and for families, but all children must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
