SUMMARY:Look at the Birds: A Birdwatching Retreat
DESCRIPTION:book now\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe’re delighted to welcome Reverend Dale Hanson to lead this year’s birdwatching retreat at Launde Abbey. Dale regularly co-leads Even Sparrows retreats with Mark Winter on Holy Island and at Kilmalieu\, and brings with him many years of ministry experience\, a deep Christian faith\, and a lifelong passion for birdwatching and wildlife photography. He is always happy to offer practical guidance to those wanting to learn more about observing and photographing birds. \n\n\n\nWe’re gutted that Mark won’t be with us this November due to prior commitments – we’ll miss him hugely. But we’re also incredibly thankful and delighted that Dale is stepping in to lead the retreat. With Dale’s experience\, passion and love of birds\, we know it will be a truly special time. \n\n\n\nNow in its fifth year\, the Launde birdwatching retreat has become a much-loved event. Each retreat reveals how many birds can be seen\, heard and learned from in the local area – last year’s impressive total of 76 species included Osprey\, Hobby\, Cuckoo\, Lesser Whitethroat and Garden Warbler. \n\n\n\nCome and see these birds for yourself\, and enjoy a time of quiet Celtic Christian worship\, biblical reflection and guided birdwatching walks. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReverend Dale Hanson is a recently retired Anglican priest\, having served in ministry for nearly 40 years. His vocation has taken him across the UK and internationally\, including two periods in Hong Kong\, time in France\, and most recently to the Falkland Islands\, where he served as locum chaplain at Port Stanley Cathedral. Dale is well known in the North East from his time as vicar of St Nicholas Church in Durham – often called “the church in the marketplace.” He now regularly co-leads Even Sparrows retreats with Mark on Holy Island and at Kilmalieu. He is passionate about his faith\, an experienced retreat leader and has been an enthusiastic bird watcher and wildlife photographer for most of his life. \n\n\n\n\n\nOLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA\n\n\n\nRetreat price: £495 (standard room) or £540 (character room)EARLY BIRD RATE: £465 (standard room) or £510 (character room) if booked by 2nd September 2025!Price includes en-suite accommodation\, all meals\, and all retreat resources.It may be possible for you to extend your stay with us by adding an extra night before or after this retreat.
