Early Morning Bird Ringing Demonstration Thurs 28th May 2026

Join us in the Secret Garden for a two-hour Bird Ringing demonstration at Careys. From 7am - 9am, observe our experienced team as they carefully handle, weigh, and ring wild birds, revealing the remarkable details of these creatures up close. Discover why this vital conservation work matters—from tracking migration patterns to monitoring population health and understanding avian behaviour. Perfect for nature enthusiasts and curious minds alike, this hands-on experience offers genuine insight into ornithological research and wildlife management. Our bird ringing demonstration is a wonderful experience for both adults and children to enjoy together. To help keep the birds safe and comfortable, we kindly ask that children stay calm and quiet during the session and remain with their parent or guardian at all times. If the weather is excessively wet or windy, the session will be cancelled to ensure the safety and welfare of the birds. In this case, you will be offered an alternative date or a full refund. Please remember to dress for the weather so everyone can stay comfortable and enjoy the experience. Your ticket includes the Bird Ringing Workshop, Parking and access to the walled Gardens to enjoy at your leisure afterwards. Your hosts Kate and Edd will meet you in the gardens at 7am. Please note the garden coffee shop will be open with refreshments from 9am. Please read our general terms and conditions, and accessibility guide before booking.
