GO WILD AT DROVE! JOIN US TOMORROW AT DROVE ORCHARDS

We’re busy making our final preparations for ‘Go Wild at Drove’ tomorrow. Drove Orchards will be hosting the Norfolk Ornithologists’ Association for an event that celebrates the wildlife at Drove and the work of it’s near neighbours the NOA. This free event will feature guided walks around the farm, demonstrations of bird ringing if weather permits, and a chance to get involved in counting and identifying moths and butterflies. We will have a series of displays including caterpillars and moths, feathers and nests, ringing and migration, Drove’s wildlife and lots of other information. There will be a bird song quiz and goodie bags for kids, so please come along and see us, and enjoy the day at Drove Orchards.
