Herts and Middlesex Wildlife Trust Tring Reservoirs Winter Wildfowl Walk

Join Herts and Middlesex Wildlife Trust for a guided winter birdwatching walk around Startop's End and Marsworth Reservoirs. Led with support from the Trust's Reserves Officer, the walk takes in the paths around the reservoirs and gives participants the chance to observe wildfowl, wading birds, gulls and other wetland species in a seasonal setting.

Along the way, you can use binoculars and a telescope to spot birds, practise identification skills and learn more about the conservation and management work carried out on site, including bird-ringing and monitoring bird populations.

The event is designed for adults and children aged 12 and over, with children required to come with an adult. It is an in-person outdoor walk covering around 3 miles, so visitors should consider their own comfort with distance and walking conditions before booking.

The route includes steep steps, gravel paths and sections that can be wet, muddy and exposed to cold winds, so warm clothing is essential. Participants are encouraged to bring binoculars or a birdwatching telescope if they have them, and may also wish to bring a snack and a drink.
