Autumn Migration Watch

1 Nov

Berry Head National Nature Reserve

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 and Wood Pigeons. There should be a supporting cast of finches, pipits and you just never know what else might turn up, last year a flock of Waxwings stayed for over a week or perhaps even a passing Short-eared Owl might or Merlin. Local bird expert Mike Langman will guide you through what is going on and help identify these birds by shape and calls. At midday after a good morning’s birdwatching we’ll warm ourselves up at the Guardhouse Café with a hearty soup and crusty roll and mug of tea or coffee.
