Join RSPB NI staff on Rathlin Island for a fascinating talk and walk exploring the secretive corncrake. Discover its unique ecology and the conservation work helping this rare bird return to Northern Ireland.

After a short talk over tea and scones at the Manor House, enjoy a guided walk through RSPB corncrake meadows to see habitat management in action and spot local wildlife along the shore on our way back via Mill Bay.
