Dawn Chorus Cruise

Sunday 5th of May is International Dawn Chorus Day. Taking part, we will be running a special Dawn Chorus Cruise on the river Barrow leaving Carlow town at 6am sharp. Heading downstream, we will watch the sunrise, and listen to the beautiful sound of the river as it awakens to the songs of the many waterside birds. We also hope to record a small snippet for RTE Radio. If you would like to join us, just follow the link below to book your place. Please note that we will be leaving from outside the Rowing Club and not our usual spot in the town park. This is due to the early morning start. We plan to be back in the town centre for approximately 8am. The cost of this trip is €28 per person and it is not very suitable for small kids (its 2 hrs. long and they'll just get bored). Please remember also to wrap up warm. While the forecast is for a good morning, the river is still very cold early in the day; so a hat, gloves and snug jacket is advised. If you've any questions, please call Cliff on 087-2061999.
