Guided morning of winter birdwatching in Wilder Doddington with expert birders Matt Capper and Matt Vickers, for those with an interest in birds and wildlife.
Doddington Hall & Gardens is hosting a winter birdwatch on Friday 15 November, led by expert birders Matt Capper and Matt Vickers. It's a guided morning walk that takes you into the heart of Wilder Doddington, beyond the public footpaths, so you'll be seeing parts of the estate you wouldn't usually get to on your own.
The focus is on the winter visitors that move in this time of year, with redwings and fieldfares high on the list. Alongside them, you'll be looking for wildfowl, waders and farmland birds across a landscape that's shifting as the season turns. Capper and Vickers will be leading the way, so you've got two experienced pairs of eyes to help you spot what's out there and put a name to what you're seeing.
You don't need any previous birdwatching experience to join in — just an interest in birds and wildlife. If you've got binoculars, bring them along; if not, you'll still get plenty out of the morning. It's a few hours spent outdoors in the November air, so the advice is to wrap up warm.

Doddington Hall itself is an Elizabethan manor house just outside Lincoln, known for its Flemish tapestries and walled gardens that keep a bit of colour going throughout the year. The walk runs from 9:30 to 12:00, and tickets are £30 for adults.
