Dusk to Dawn Chorus

Saturday 28 May to Sunday 29 May 2011, Dartington Estate, Devon

For this Aune Head Arts event I'll be working with artist Elly Stevens to take people on an overnight journey to discover the sounds and voices of the night. The event will start with a sit to listen to the dusk chorus of bird song, identifying the many and varied voices that amplify the landscape with the setting sun. With the final song we will then embark on a slow walk round the estate; a combination of playful exploration, shared stories, and times for still quiet listening at different places. We will return to our starting point before dawn to celebrate the birds as they awaken and greet the day. As the sun rises, we’ll share a lovely breakfast!

This is part of a series of events called Flittermice and Hoots that focus on the natural world at dusk and dawn
