Arne is best known for its birds, but it is also one of the few places in the UK where all six of the UKs native reptiles can be found. Situated on Poole Harbour, the landscape is a mix of open heathland and ancient oak woodland. Birds such as the spoonbill, the dartford warbler and nightjars are seen regularly and, in October, large flocks of waders including avocet gather. There may also be the opportunity to see species such as osprey as they head south for the winter. 

Attendees will learn and observe the wildlife and birds and understand their habitats and the effects of climate change.

Please note: Lunch will not be provided. Attendees will have the option of pre-ordering food at the café on arrival.
