Events | 5 April 10am – 5pm Easter Sunday Bird-Egg Trail

Families are invited to step into spring at Withymead Nature Reserve this Easter Sunday, for a brand new Easter Bird Egg Trail running from 10am to 5pm. The reserve’s volunteers have created a series of numbered “nests” hidden around the site, each one filled with hand turned wooden eggs painted to match a local bird species.

Follow the trail, search for the nests, and use the egg colours and nest clues to work out which bird each nest belongs to. From reedbed specialists like the Sedge Warbler and Water Rail to garden favourites such as the Robin and Blackbird, the trail offers a gentle way to explore the reserve’s habitats and learn about the birds that call Withymead home.
