SUMMARY:Dusk Chorus
DESCRIPTION:Experience the dusk chorus with local bird experts as evening falls. Learn to recognise birds by their distinctive songs while they settle in for the night with local bird experts from the Kilkenny Branch of BirdWatch Ireland in association with the OPW.  Note\, while the event starts at 8pm\, participants are to assemble at the Kilkenny Castle gate at 7.50pm\, as the gate will close at 8pm sharp.  This is an unique opportunity to enjoy the castle grounds after hours\, with just birdsong filling the air.
