About the event

Discover the iconic song of the nightingale as these spring visitors return to Lackford Lakes.

On this relaxed open evening, we will begin with an introductory talk by our Visitor Experience Officer. Our wildlife guides will be on hand at key points around the trails where we expect to find the nightingales for you to chat to and enjoy the songs together. Our Visitor Centre and café will be open throughout the evening.

Please note while we historically have a high rate of finding nightingales on these evenings, as with any wildlife encounter we cannot guarantee sightings. If you find this event sold out, we are running another on 8th May  - please check our events page for these and follow our social media for the latest updates.

Pay on the day, no booking required. For full event terms and conditions visit: www.suffolkwildlifetrust.org/eventinfo
