Bird Migration Talk

Join Wild Ouseburn for an illustrated talk that brings to life the incredible journeys birds make to reach our corner of the world each year.

From the tidal Ouseburn to the lofty heights of the Tyne Bridge, discover how Sand Martins, Kittiwakes, Swifts, and other migratory birds travel thousands of miles across continents — facing storms, deserts, and oceans — just to nest and raise their young in our urban landscapes.

We’ll dive into the science and stories behind migration:
– How do birds know where to go?
– Why do they come back to the same spots year after year?
– And what can we do to help them survive and thrive?

With beautiful images, maps, and videos, we’ll explore the challenges these birds face, the wonders of their journeys, and the surprising ways our city supports their life.
