Guided Farm walk – Ground Nest Fest / Festival Bowland 2026

Two people stand in front of a newly built wooden bird hide on a sunny day. The hide is rectangular, with an open doorway and built-in wooden deck. A woman in a grey zip-up jacket and denim shorts stands left of the door, and a man in a black t-shirt and dark pants stands right. They are positioned against a backdrop of green fields and a blue sky.
