Follow a Reserves Officer around Great Hardmead Lake, using binoculars and a telescope from viewpoints and bird hides to spot wildfowl, wading birds, gulls and other wetland species. Pick up tips for identifying birds and understanding their behaviour, habitats and winter ecology.
Join Herts and Middlesex Wildlife Trust for a guided birdwatching walk at Amwell Nature Reserve, exploring the wildlife and scenery around Great Hardmead Lake. With the help of a Reserves Officer, participants will visit viewpoints and bird hides, using binoculars and a telescope to observe wildfowl, wading birds, gulls and other wetland species.
The walk also includes tips on identifying different bird species and learning more about their behaviour, habitats and the ecology of winter visitors.
This event is designed for both beginners and more experienced wildlife enthusiasts, making it a good chance to build identification skills and enjoy a peaceful outdoor experience. It is suitable for adults and children aged 12 and over, with children required to attend with an adult.
Please be aware that the walk is weather dependent and involves around 1. 5 to 2 miles of mainly flat gravel paths, a level railway crossing and some uneven sections on the boardwalk to White Hide, so suitable clothing and footwear are recommended.
15 December 2026, 13:30 – 15:30
Suggested donation: £10 per adult, £2 per child.
