Take sound ornithology expertise set it in an elegant country house estate and what do you get: our third series of Dawn Chorus events with professional bird watching guide Michael Cobley on the magnificent grounds of Longueville House! Michael (chair of the West Corkbranch of Bird Watch Ireland) has years of experience guiding groups of various experience levels including newcomers. He is an absolute mine of information and has an uncanny ability to identify birds by their call alone and will be on hand to help with the birds, their songs and calls, and also information on their habits and habitats. Michael has experience gained from birding in most European countries and will be available not only leading the chorus walk but also afterwards over a cup of coffee where we can wind down after our early start with a questions and answers session.

Equipment: Warm outdoor clothing with hiking books/wellies depending on the weather. Waterproof hats and over coats, umbrellas due to our inclement weather; even a pair of sunglasses may come in handy! Binoculars if you readily have them but not essential.

Overnight Package: One Night B&B, Gourmet Dinner for two plus Morning Chorus Walk and a late checkout until 2pm

Extra night stay:
Or why not make a weekend of it and stay on the Friday night too! We can book a masseuse for you in the privacy of your own bedroom, a tour of our distillery, provide you with maps of local country strolls & hikes..
