Guided walks are always a popular way to discover more about a place like Arne. Some species can be tricky to see and someone with lots of experience can be invaluable when trying to spot something like a Dartford Warbler or separating those pesky waders. Our well attended Wednesday ‘Discover Arne’ walks are good but often in a larger group spotting everything can be tricky. That’s why this Autumn/Winter you can hire your very own guide to experience Arne at its best.

This is the deal... For £50 you get a guide who’s well equipped with a vast knowledge of Arne and it’s wildlife, for a two hour tour of Arne. We can have groups of up to 6 people and it’s pretty much up to you how your visit will pan out. If you’d love to see a Dartford Warbler, that will be our focus. If you wanted to explore the WW2 gun emplacement, that’s what we’ll do. If you’d like to experience the sight of thousands of wading birds wheeling around the sky? You’ve guessed it, that’s what we’ll do. Of course, birds being birds, we can’t guarantee anything but we love a challenge at Arne!

Here’s a suggestion... It could make an incredible birthday gift which is not only a brilliant day out but the money will go back into conservation!

Arne is over 550 hectares of prime wildlife habitat waiting to be explored. To arrange a guide for yourself, a relative or friend or a small group, give us a ring on 01929 553360 or email arne@rspb.org.uk
