During Lockdown many of us have spent more time than usual observing nature close to home, including the birds in our gardens, trees and on our street corners. In this informal and interactive session participants  will share what they have learnt from their our observations and have a conversation about the birds that have inspired, encouraged and delighted them during Lockdown.

Creative Writing Exercise

There will also be some simple creative writing exercises to inspire you to capture in words, the magic of birds

The sessions will be facilitated by Woodlands Community Development Trust’s manager Tim Cowen. During Lockdown Tim has been observing birds during his daily walks and on lunchbreaks.  He enjoys writing about nature in his spare time and his favourite bird is the Starling. He loves them so much, that a Starling is a central character in his novel Banquet of the Beasts that he will be self-publishing later this year.

This event is part of Woodlands Nature recovery Project – using the power of nature to help us cope with the stress of the Covid crisis.

There is also another session on Tuesday 16th June 10am – 11.30am. Join for one session or both!
