Great Birdwatching Walks in the Forest of Dean

Had a wonderful day. Walks were lovely. Great leader whose knowledge and experience meant we saw an amazing range of birds and not just the 2 new species I'd hoped to see - Hawfinch and Crossbill, but a whole host of favourites including 2 species of woodpeckers, dipper, brambling, siskin and even a Little Egret. Trip was well organised and hassle free. Will be doing more of these day trips.

Great guides, all well organised

A week of birding, deer & otters in Mull with 2 excellent guides. All well organised from collection in Glasgow to be dropped off back in Glasgow. Couldn’t have wanted for better, even rainy days went well.

The Somerset Level (day trip)

A small group of us spent a December day exploring reserves on the Somerset Levels selected by our expert guide. He had experience of working on the Levels and so was able to guide us to the right places to make the most of the rather gloomy December weather. We saw birds that I would have never found on my own and it was interesting to learn about the management of the reserves from someone who had been directly involved. The day concluded ...

We saw birds that I would have never found on my own and it was interesting to learn about the management of the reserves from someone who had been directly involved. The day concluded with a starling murmuration happening over and around us. The sight and sounds of thousands of starlings overhead was brilliant and a privilege to behold.

Approachable and efficient, as always.

Spain - Realm of the Ibeerian Lynx. (Naturetrek)

We set out to try to find the endangered Iberian Lynx as well as looking for eagles, vultures, other birds and mammals. This was a small group of 7 people with an excellent guide who worked tirelessly to help us see out target animal. I didn't have a telescope but our guide ensured that his was available. We had 9 excellent sightings which was really thrilling. And was saw a range of other mammals including Ibex, Mufflon and excellent views ...

Always available and wiling to help with queries. However this holiday really tested them. Whilst in Spain the UK Government demanded extra PCR (negative) tests to be taken 2 days before leaving Spain. We were in a remote area and our guide worked a miracle in finding a clinic who could do the tests and get them verified prior to our return. We then had to fill in complicated formjust took overs on our mobile phones. Frankly I am not IT competent and our guide really helped me. This extra help is a reflection of the quality of our guide(outstanding) and of Naturetrek as an organization.

Naturetrek Winter Birds of Chesil Beach & Portland Harbour

Birdwatching day trip with Tom Brereton as guide. Tom is extremely knowledegable about the area, ensuring super sightings of a range of birds. In addition, he ensures everyone can actually get on to the birds. He creates a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere which results in a super day.

The Forest of Dean Day trip

A day`s birding trip with excellent views of many winter birds, which exceeded our expectations. New locations we had not previously fond by ourselves.
