Get in touch with nature this half term

Your family will find lots of fun filled events for half-term week at RSPB Frampton Marsh.

Back by popular demand is a brand new treasure trail round the beautiful reedbed.

Follow the clues round the trail; get the questions right and you win a prize!

This runs throughout the holiday, from this Sunday to Sunday, June 5. The trail is £2 per child and is suitable for those aged five to 15.

On Tuesday (May 31) and Thursday (June 2) you can explore what watery wildlife lurks in the weedy depths of the pond. From ponds snails to newts, there are many fantastic things to discover.

On June 3, why not try bug hunting? Led by an intrepid guide you will discover the miniature world of beetles, bees and bugs galore.

Just in time for Springwatch there is also Birds for Kids on Wednesday.

This is a fantastic introduction to bird watching with some easy to understand theory from the guide. You will then head out on a trip onto the reserve to put those new found skills to the test! This is suitable for ages eight to 12.

Advance booking is essential for guided events. All three are £3.50 per child and multiple sessions are available each day.

Chris Andrews, Visitor Experience Manager for the reserve, said: “There’s a wealth of local wildlife to enjoy and discover. Get inspired by Springwatch and bring your kids along to one of our events this half-term.”
