Spring Birdwatching Tours
Nightingale Tours
30th April and 2nd May
Set in Suffolk this tour will focus on hearing and seeing nightingales. Also getting to grips with up to
11 species of warbler, Bittern, Bearded tit, Hobby, Woodlark, Passage Waders and Redstart. In previous years
we have found a rare Red Rumped Swallow and seen Kentish Plover, Montagu's Harrier, Temminck's Stint and
Spoonbill on these tours.
Spring Migration Tours
Based on the North Norfolk coast with B&B accommodation and all transport and guiding included, these tours
will concentrate on looking for spring migrants, vagrants, interesting resident species along with all the commoner
birds. This is an exciting time of year as with the right weather conditions anything can and does turn up. For
example, on one previous five day tour we found both Hoopoe and Kentish Plover, we also saw the arrival of at
least 40 Black Terns, Citrine Wagtail, Temminck's Stint, Collared Pratincole, Grey Headed Wagtail, Ring Ouzel
and Montagu's Harrier.
The tours are based in Wells-next-the-sea, this is a small town centrally situated on the north coast of Norfolk
and has many shops and restaurants. I use a couple of small friendly Bed & Breakfasts but you can upgrade
accommodation as you wish and depending on availability it will be possible to do any 2, 3 or 4 days.
