Join us for the Big Castle Birdwatch on 24 and 25 January! We're taking part in the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch.
We'll have RSPB guides to help you identify our feathered friends. Borrow some of our binoculars to use around the site.
You can join our official count at 1pm on Saturday 24, or give it a go any point of the weekend.
Once you've taken flight, see what birds you can identify near your home too!
No matter what the weather, we'll have fun family crafts indoors. Make your own bird puppets and paper 'rocking robins'. A little bird has told us there's a few colourful friends hiding around the Visitor Centre too - can you spot them all?
You can find out more about the RSPB's Big Garden Bird Watch at www.rspb.org.uk/whats-happening/big-garden-birdwatch. It's the world's largest garden wildlife survey!
