Under the guidance of Christina Bessant, you will learn how to use a bat detector to scan the skies and identify the bat species you are able to listen to.
Christina is an ecologist with superb knowledge of the wildlife that occurs in the UK. As a committee member of Ruislip and District Natural History Society and Deputy Chair of the Maple Lodge Conservation Society, Christina helps both teams to regularly survey their local bat population.
Alongside our volunteer entomologist John Mynett, we will also get a chance to see what moths might be flying that night – a rich food source for the bats.

DAWN CHORUS WALK SATURDAY 25TH APRIL
2026-04-25 05:00 - 07:00 | Woodoaks Farm, Woodoaks Farm, Maple Cross, Hertfordshire, WD3 9XQ, United Kingdom
Join us for our very special Dawn Chorus Bird Walk where we will be treated to the delightful morning melodies from our resident birds such as Blackbird, Song Thrush, Wren, Robin, Dunnock, Chaffinch and Skylark.
We may also hear migrant species that have travelled thousands of miles from their wintering grounds, now preparing to breed, with males singing to attract a mate.
Species such as Blackcap, (also known as the Northern Nightingale) due to its fluting song, should be heard plus Chiffchaff, Common Whitethroat and maybe the rarer Lesser Whitethroat too.
If the weather is kind we should also have a wonderful view of the sun as it rises in the east at approx 5:45am.
Local Birders Stephen Carter and Paul Lewis, alongside farm ranger Steve Dutch, will be guiding us through the morning, answering questions, highlighting and identifying birdsong and enabling us to get a close look at our feathered friends using their specialist birding monocular.
When: Saturday April 25th – 5am-7am.
Where: Woodoaks Farm Maple Cross.WD3 9QX. Located just minutes away from Junction 17 of M25.

What to wear and Bring: Wear sturdy shoes or walking boots as the tracks around the farm are uneven or may be muddy.
Dogs: As we are keen not to disturb the wildlife, we would ask for you to leave your dogs at home on this occasion – however guide dogs are welcome.
Access:
With uneven tracks and hills en route and the possibility of mud and puddles we are sorry to say that the route will not be manageable by unmotorised wheelchairs.
We do have one all terrain scooter available that can manage this route easily. This will be bookable on a first come first served basis. Please book the Tramper ticket and and then email us at info@woodoaksfarm.com so we can arrange and ‘driving induction’ in advance. You will need to arrive 10 minutes early to complete this.
Woodoaks Farm Volunteer sight guides will be available for the walk. On booking your ticket please indicate your interest in a sight guide for the morning and email us at woodoaksfarm@gmail.com to make sure we can have a volunteer available for you.
