Tour group

A Often we come across birders who struggle with particular groups of birds or topics such as bird song or warbler identification. So we thought we might help.

These are a mixture of half and full day tours taking place at weekends to destinations within a few hours of Sheffield.

Each tour will concentrate on a particular habitat or group of bird at an optimum time of year to connect with the target group. With small groups (max. 8 people per leader), we will show you the birds we are concentrating on and in a relaxed atmosphere tell you what to look for, how to identify the birds by sight and sound, so you can gain the skills and confidence to find and identify these birds yourself.

The day courses can be purchased individually or save £35 and book them all for £150.
