Park rangers at Billingham Beck Valley Country Park will lead visitors on a guided bird-spotting walk on Sunday, May 18, from 5.30am to 7.30am to listen to the springtime medley of birdsong.

Rangers will show visitors the many different species of bird which call the park home and people are welcome to bring along a pair of binoculars to spot them. Visitors should dress up warm for the many stops along the route before joining the rangers for tea and toast in the visitor centre after the walk.

Rangers are also inviting families to join them in a fun nature trail on Friday, May 30, from 10.30am to 12.30pm.

The Flour Trail invites children and families to follow flour marks throughout the park before testing their knowledge of the different plants and animals in the park with various prizes to be won.

The events are free, although places are limited so advanced booking is essential.
