NATURE fans will have to literally be up with the lark to catch a special walk in Birstall next month.

Oakwell Hall Country Park head ranger Richard Aspinall will be leading a walk through the park at 5am.

The walk on Sunday May 7 is to hear one of nature's best sounds - the Dawn Chorus.

Richard said: "It is an early start, but I assure you it is definitely worth it.

"There is no more inspiring an experience than the dawn chorus.

"It all starts around 4.30am and is over by 6.30am so we have to be out there early to make the most of it."

To help bolster the early risers, a full English breakfast will be served in the Oak Tree Cafe after the walk.

The walk costs £10 per person, including breakfast.

Places must be booked in advance by phoning 01924 326240.
