Service Description

Three-Hour Birding Walk - Focusing on seasonal highlights Join us for a three-hour birding walk in the New Forest! This small-group outing will take a relaxed pace, allowing us to explore and discuss all aspects of birdlife within the forest. We'll focus on seasonal highlights as well as iconic New Forest woodland species. The walk will last three hours, with regular breaks—please bring your own supplies. We’ll take our time examining ID features and discussing the behavior and movements of each species we encounter. The meeting point will vary each month as we seek out seasonal specialties across different habitats. Here’s the provisional schedule: January – Coastal birds February – Goshawk & Woodlark March – Lesser Spotted Woodpecker & scarce woodland species April – Hawfinch May – Dartford Warbler June – Nightjar July – Raptors September – Wader ID October – Autumn migrants November – Winter thrushes December – Wildfowl ID Full joining details will be provided a few days before the trip
