    Experience the magnificent sounds and sights of the dawn chorus at the Hill of Tarvit on Thursday 29 May 2008.

    Our feathered alarm clocks are out in force again as the birds defend their territories and try to find a mate. Early risers will be treated to the spectacular song that begins soon after sunrise.

    Property Manager Ruth Burgess says:

    “Hill of Tarvit is home to many breeds of birds who all burst into song at dawn during the summer months. On our guided tour, you will hear for yourself the wonderful sound of the dawn chorus and get to know the songs of the many different species.”

    The walk takes place from 5am till 6:30am and costs £7 per person. The price includes a hot drink and a light breakfast snack after the walk. To book call 0844 493 2185.
