Manx Wildlife Trust is to hold guided walks around one of its wildlife reserves during a particularly special time of the year.

The thousands of orchids are bursting to life around the island at the moment, and there will be a chance to see them and learn more about the flowers and their particular habitats.

The walks are around the Close Sartfield reserve, located in the Ballaugh curraghs, and take place this Sunday and next weekend, on Sunday June 18, between 2.30pm and 4.30pm.

Tickets for the walk cost £2.50.

Contact the reserves officer Tricia Sayle on 494143 for more details and to reserve tickets.
