New Forest Raptor Watch

A Spring Raptor Watch in the New Forest

Meeting Point: Bramshaw Car Park

Duration: 3 hours

Join Wild New Forest Guided Tours for a focused raptor-watching session in the heart of the New Forest.

Spring is the prime time to observe Northern Goshawk as displaying birds take to the skies above the woodland canopy. From our carefully chosen viewpoint near Bramshaw, we will spend time scanning the treetops and skyline, watching for this powerful and elusive forest raptor as well as other birds of prey active in the area.

While Goshawk will be our primary target, we can also expect the possibility of Common Buzzard, Red Kite and Sparrowhawk. Morning thermals and territorial activity often produce dramatic aerial encounters, offering excellent viewing opportunities.
