Put on your walking shoes, bring your binoculars if you have them and enjoy a unique birding triple bill. Join poet and performer Anneliese Emmans Dean for a journey through the bird year in laughter, rhythm and rhyme, followed by a chance to take a look at her new book Flying High!
Next, head outside for a guided bird walk with Sir John Lawton, Vice President of the RSPB on the University of York’s wildlife-friendly Campus East. Over 100 different bird species have been spotted on the new campus since its transformation from sugar beet fields in 2009.
