Our day will start on the East side of Dartmoor national Park in the mixed woodland of Yarner. Our target species her will be the elusive Lesser Spotted Woodpecker. Once we have this species in the bag we will explore the woodlands further for early returning specialist breeders like Pied Flycatchers and Redstarts.
After this we will move on to the RSPB reserve at Labrador Bay where we will look for Cirl Buntings.

Our hire pairs are the superb quality Opticron Oregon 4, 8×42. They give fantastic clarity and are suitable for all our tours. We also have these in stock to buy if you’re impressed by them!
Our leaders have their own telescopes that they are happy to share if needed, but please feel free to bring your own, especially if the tour involves visits to estuaries or sea-watching. We hope to have telescopes and binoculars for hire in the future.
