We’ve been pretty busy through September with private tours booked every weekend! Up to now we haven’t had to go too far to see an array of species! Concentrating on North Cliffs, Gwithian and Hayle areas we have managed over 70 species, including the rarities like Semipalmated and Baird’s Sandpiper! Our first group of three […]

Another private tour in Devon saw us pick up Simon from Bere Ferrers at 8am and head off to Bowling Green Marsh. For those that have never heard of Bere Ferrers, don’t worry. It’s the back of beyond down tiny lanes and you will probably never visit there! We arrived at Bowling Green Marsh RSPB […]

![](https://cornwall-birding.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/waders-at-bowling-green-marsh-august-2020-1024x683.jpg)
Our first COVID free clients enjoyed a day long trip in Devon on 9th July! Tim and Hannah are two of our best clients and this is their third outing with us! We met early at Yarner Woods, East Dartmoor where we usually have our Spring visit in mid-may. With many of the specialist woodland […]
SCILLY TOUR – October 2019
![](https://cornwall-birding.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/img_1014-2-1024x683.jpg)
Our Scilly ‘tour’ was once again full with six of us on the islands for a full week (19th to 25th). Before we had even set of we enjoyed close views of a stunning Red-throated Diver in Penzance Harbour! The sailing over was fairly uneventful with just a single Great Skua and two Arctic Skuas […]
Waders and Wildfowl at Hayle – Bespoke Tour
![](https://cornwall-birding.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/black-tailed-godwit-15022019-1024x683.jpg)
A mornings bespoke tour was requested by our clients Elly and Martin, last Thursday and to see as many birds as we could well, without going ‘twitching’! The Gwithian area followed by high tide at the Hayle Estaury was the obvious itinerary. St Gothian Sands NR at Gwithian rarely disappoints and there is always something […]
More Choughs and a few Waders Please!
![](https://cornwall-birding.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/chough-nanquidno-312092019-1024x683.jpg)
Brad led a bespoke tour for our most regular clients Tim and Anna at the end of September with a request to see Choughs and some waders. Obviously we needed to visit two different habitats for that! So back to trusty Nanquidno and the Hayle estuary to oblige. Hayle and in particular Ryan’s Field was […]
Nanquidno Valley in search of Choughs
![](https://cornwall-birding.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/chough-nanquidno-212092019-1-1024x683.jpg)
Choughs were our target species today and where better to look for them than at Nanquidno
Avalon Marshes Tour – 19th May 2019
![](https://cornwall-birding.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/gwe.jpg)
Our Avalon Marshes tour is always one I look forward to. The reserves of RSPB Ham Wall and the neighbouring Shapwick Heath never fail to produce spectacular birdlife. The Somerset reserves are easily the best reed bed habitat in the south west! So, our group of six, guided by Brad and I, arrived after a […]
Guiding on The Lizard
![](https://cornwall-birding.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/linnet-nanquidno-12092019-1024x683.jpg)
Todays clients, Claire and her husband from Colorado USA, requested a visit to The Lizard, having never been there before and in the hope of seeing Choughs and Grey Seals. They weren’t disappointed on either count! We headed straight to Lizard Point early to avoid the crowds where we were soon watching two female Grey […]
Bespoke Tour in West Cornwall
![](https://cornwall-birding.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/glossy-ibis-marazion-19042019-1024x683.jpg)
After a few days of awful wind and rain in the County we were greeted with warm sunny conditions today for our bespoke tour with Lesley. Having been with us on a previous tour I knew Lesley was a keen photographer, so photo opportunities were a must. We decided on Marazion Marsh for our first […]
