We are running a series of wildlife events over the summer with our partners Wild Intrigue
Guided Wildlife Walks
Hidden within Kielder’s beautiful landscape, spectacular wildlife can be discovered. Join local wildlife experts, Wild Intrigue, to explore the wild side of Kielder on a guided wildlife walk at Bakethin Nature Reserve.
In summer, Kielder is home to an incredible array of woodland and freshwater birds, from Crossbill, Willow Warbler and Jay, to Dipper, Kingfisher and the magnificent Osprey. Below the leafy canopy, Water Vole, Roe Deer and Otter roam alongside a carpet of wildflowers which attract an impressive number of butterflies.

Bat Safaris
Immerse yourself in the enchanting secret lives of Kielder’s nocturnal neighbours during our guided Bat Safari with local wildlife experts, Wild Intrigue! As the sun sets over the forest, you’ll be equipped with special acoustic bat detectors to eavesdrop on these fascinating mammals as they emerge from their daytime roosts for their evening hunt.
This unforgettable evening experience offers a glimpse into the hidden world of bats, allowing you to witness their aerial acrobatics and observe their summertime social behaviours.
