ARE you a family who wants to explore your local habitats?

Look no further than the Wirral Wildlife Warriors Explore Birds In Winter session at Wirral Country Park on December 27 from 10.30am-12.30pm.

Each Wildlife Warrior event consists of an hour spent with the Ranger investigating special habitat, followed by a one hour trail for you to do with your children.

Return the trail to the Visitor Centre for a certificate and a small prize.

This is a fun way to learn together about local wildlife and get a bit of fresh air and exercise.

Families will learn how birds cope with the winter weather and give them a helping hand by making bird cakes. Please note participants will be handling nuts and seeds.

It is free but booking is essential because numbers are limited to 20.

Book now on 648 4371 or email wirralcountrypark@wirral.gov.uk.

The visitor centre can be found at Wirral Country Park, in Station Road, Thurstaston.
