Booking opens 30 January 2026, 10am

A rare opportunity to experience the Garden in all its tranquility before it opens to the public.

Join ornithologist Dr. Julia Mackenzie, who uses the Botanic Garden for her research, for an early-morning tour to observe the birds that call the Garden home. Price includes a hot breakfast in the Café after the tour.

Due to the popularity of last year’s event, we are offering it twice this year:

  • 21 April, 8am
  • 22 April, 8am

As an introduction, we also recommend joining the online event A Guide to Birdsong on 20 April.

Please see page 12 of your January newsletter for details on how to book, including the required booking code.
