Dadima’s May Walk Guided walk

Walk: Early morning birdsong walk

Date and start time: Sunday, 25 May, 2025, 08:30 – 10:30

Details of walk: This walk will be led by Jon Mason, who has been a birder from a young age and understands birds, their musical chorus and interactions with such depth, connection and beauty. As a Dadima’s Ambassador, Jon has kindly led our birding walks for a couple of years now. His deep knowledge as a naturalist and geographer, coupled with his passionate style of teaching, makes this walk special and engaging.

You can read more on Jon’s website, theearlybirder | online photography nature speaker blog and Instagram, @theearlybirder.

This gentle walk with conversations around birdsong and wildlife, will take us between Marsworth and Startop’s Reservoir, around Tring reservoir to Little Tring. Largely flat terrain but a few slopes descending down – overall a gentle walk.

Walk is free to attend, but you should book on.

Meet-up point:

Startop’s Reservoir car park, opposite the Angler’s Retreat pub on the B489, Marsworth near Tring. Postcode: HP23 4LJ. Please note that the car park costs £4 for 24 hours.

To bring:

• Waterbottle
• Any snacks (I usually bring some light snacks for sharing)
• Optional: binoculars if you have them. We should see a good range of wildflowers and birds.
