by Hugh Nicholson and Nastassja Simensky

This week is a wonderful opportunity to come and explore the natural world in the local area. There is plenty to see and learn under the guidance of experienced bird watchers.  The programme includes walks of 3-4 miles in local Essex wildlife trust reserves and along the sea wall to explore the Blackwater Estuary. There is a chance to relax in the afternoon and in the evenings to listen to talks on wildlife and local history.  

Arrivals: from 3pm Monday - first meal is dinner at 7pm

Departures: Thursday morning 11am

Cost: We have two rates for adults £150 (Basic Rate) or £180 (*Benefactor Rate), if you would like to camp then the rate for adults is £112 (Basic Rate) or £150 (Benefactor Rate). If you are able to afford the Benefactor rate this helps to support the work of Othona and enables us to provide bursaries to support those who cannot afford to come. Normal child rates apply (Child Rates), if you are bringing two or more children with you, then the eldest goes free. 

We may be able to offer a bursary if needed. Please contact us to find out more.
