Early November can produce some of the most spectacular overhead movements of birds and given the right conditions thousands of birds could be on the move in huge flocks, Redwings and Fieldfare freshly arriving back from their breeding grounds of Scandinavia are joined by loose flocks of Wood Pigeons and in 2015 we were treated to thousands of Thrushes moving over. There should be a supporting cast of finches, pipits and you just never know what else might turn up, perhaps even a passing Short-eared Owl or Merlin or as in 2015 a Woodcock.
Local bird expert Mike Langman will guide you through what is going on and help identify these birds by shape and calls. The early start optimises our chances of witnessing migration at its best. At about 9.15am after a good morning’s bird watching we’ll warm ourselves up at the Guardhouse Café with a hearty full breakfast and tea/coffee.
