About the event

Set your alarm and come and join us on a 2 hour walk listening to the birds with our expert guides.

This global event began in the UK in 1987 when wildlife enthusiast and local broadcaster Chris Baines, decided to celebrate his birthday by inviting friends and family to listen to wildlife wake up with him at Moseley Bog. The event grew and was promoted by the Wildlife Trust for Birmingham and the Black Country, where Chris Baines was Vice-President. The annual event now takes place on the first Sunday of May and hundreds of events are organised around the world.

Please bring a torch, suitable footwear, and binoculars if you have them.

This event is suitable for older children (11+) but not younger children.
