As part of the SeaScapes’ Coastal Partnership Event join us for a Family Wildlife Walk and Talk.

Durham Wildlife Trust will be leading a 2-hour wildlife walk and talk. This route is 2-miles return. While we can’t guarantee what we will see, waders like purple sandpiper, ringed plover, turnstone, knots, dunlin, curlew, oystercatcher and redshank.

That said, you never know when a rarity might show up…
