Join local bird surveyor and wildlife enthusiast John Peatfield for a fascinating talk exploring the birds that live on and around England’s largest natural lake. 

With experience surveying birds for organisations including the RSPB and the British Trust for Ornithology, John brings a keen eye and genuine enthusiasm for helping others notice the amazing birdlife around them. 

Taking place in the Temporary Exhibition Space, this talk will introduce visitors to familiar lakeshore species, seasonal visitors and the habitats that support them. It’s a chance to learn more about the wildlife that shapes Windermere’s ecology, from the birds you might spot along the shoreline to those seen out on the water. 

Perfect for keen birdwatchers, curious beginners and anyone interested in learning more about Windermere’s natural world.
