RSPB Lochwinnoch has announced wildlife events set to encourage an interest in nature.

Visitors can sign up to participate in various outdoor activities for a range of age groups during May and June.

The centre says it's aiming to serve a wide audience and encourage them to develop an interest in nature.

A self-led scavenger hunt, wildlife photography, nature trails and lessons on how to identify birdsong are just some of the sessions running at various times over the months.

Events are available through online booking on the RSPB website.

Robert Conn, visitor experience manager at RSPB, said: “These activities encourage kids to explore the trails, looking for wildlife as well as any ‘hidden’ objects related to the activity that is running.

"The aim is to give kids and families a positive experience in the outdoors, a chance to discover and engage with wildlife, and an opportunity to simply have fun together.

“Our guided walks, including the birding for beginners and women-only walks, are designed for those with a bit more interest in wildlife or those wishing to develop an interest and increase their knowledge.

“These are designed to be friendly, relaxed, informative events. The hope for these is to help grow interest in wildlife and provide opportunities for people to come to the reserve and see what we have to offer.”
