About the event

Aged 18- 30? Interested in finding out about birds? Join Surrey Wildlife Trust ecologist Elliot as he explores Papercourt Marshes in Surrey to check out the local birdlife. Together you will look for and learn about different species of birds. It is a great opportunity to spend time in nature and meet with like-minded young people.

Elliot is an ecologist, with a lifelong interest in British birds, plants and reptiles. Elliot often spends his weekends out in nature, enjoying the thrills of seeing birds in their natural environment and sharing this knowledge with people who come from all walks of life. Whether you're interested in learning more, or just spending some time outside with other young people, Elliot is a great guide to help you explore!
