Popular children’s presenter, Naomi Wilkinson, will be visiting RSPB Pulborough Brooks on Sunday 2 October, to help local children get even closer to nature.
One lucky RSPB member will be treated to a personalised tour of the reserve with Naomi, presenter of CBBC’s Naomi’s Nightmares of Nature. Charlotte, aged 7, entered the Wild Walk with Wilkinson competition in the charity’s Bird Life magazine and won the opportunity to meet Naomi, who is one of her wildlife heroes, at her local RSPB reserve, Pulborough Brooks.
Naomi and RSPB staff will be helping Charlotte to become a wildlife detective. Together they will try to track down some of the creatures that live on the site, such as mice, moths and reptiles.
In the afternoon Charlotte will discover the endangered wintering birds which feed on the reserves’ floodplain and attract visitors from across the country to this Special Protection Area (SPA).
At 3.00pm, Naomi will also be helping with a family pond dipping session outside the reserve’s visitor centre and cafe. This session will be open to the public.
If you would like to find out more about this, or any of the other family events running at the at the reserve this autumn, please visit www.rspb.org.uk/pulboroughbrooks<http://www.rspb.org.uk/pulboroughbrooks
