Wildlife Walk for Wellness - Spring

Service Description

Getting in 7,500 steps a day and 2 hours in nature a week have been scientifically shown to improve physical and mental health. You'll also learn new skills with us which stimulate the brain, improving concentration, mood and keeping conditions like Altzeimers at bay... Our morning walks begin just after sun rise so you can experience a dawn chorus and the highest levels of wildlife activity before other visitors disturb them. You certainly won't regret experiencing this magical time of day.... Your guide, Sarah has been watching birds for over 25 years. She is a trained ecologist, and had a career in bird conservation before moving into fitness and nutrition. She takes the wildlife photos on the website. A brush with wildlife filmmaking developed her love of story, and she has entertained people from the cloud forests of Central America, to the Berkshire Heathlands, and London Zoo with her wildlife presentations. Sarah can unlock seasonal treasures you'd blindly walk past at Hollow Ponds. Sightings of 87 species have been recorded here, with resident woodpeckers, nuthatch, treecreeper, sparrowhawk, ring-necked parakeet and kestrel regularly seen. Yogic breathing and forest bathing techniques are taught, and basic foraging can also be an element of these mindfulness focussed walks. If you have binoculars bring them, or ask when you book to hire a pair.
