Bird watching for the day in the Forest of Dean

He took the time for all of us to see the birds in detail, showing us in the scope. He didn’t move on until we had all seen the bird and had a chance to ask questions

This day trip to Old Moor and the Dearne Valley was led by a Naturetrek guide who was previously RSPB manager of these. reserves. His knowledge of the history of the area, creation of the reserves and strategies for developing them is unsurpassable. This together with his excellent guiding made for a wonderful day in an area I might have thought I knew well! (I know far more now and will gain more from future visits).

Brilliant and still have a personal touch!

A great day in the Forest of Dean. Dan was very knowledgable & great at getting elusive birds in his scope & ensuring that everyone who wanted one got a good view. A good variety of locations during the day. Crossbills, Siskin & haw finches were particular highlights.

Well organised with good communication, including about the change of leader.

Visited excellent places for seeing birds. Our Guides were brilliant, showed us what they could and pointed out different birds and how to tell some birds apart. Had very good room in the Hotel, staff looked after us very well, food very good.

Naturetrek personnel are always polite, considerate, efficient and ready to help. Phone is answered quickly..

Joined the Naturetrek, Realm of the Iberian Lynx tour from 28 November to 3 December 21. The 2 accommodations were in good location and provided comfortable rooms and good food. The tour leaders were excellent and extremely knowledgeable and ensured that we had the best chances to spot Lynx and other wildlife. We have used Naturetrek for a number of rips and not been disappointed.

Naturetrek staff are very helpful when booking trips and their communication with us throughout is alway excellent. We have confidence in using Naturetrek and would recommend them as a tour operator.

Samuel Levy was an excellent guide and despite windy cloudy weather found us lots of birds. In future please stress that this trip must start promptly and requires a lot of walking.. people arrived 15 minutes late and 1 person was a very slow walker so we missed the hawfinch roost which should be the highlight of this day, albeit we saw a hawfinch. This is not fair on others. Timing will obviously depend on the time of year.

Excellent guide, smooth booking process

This was a great day out visiting various locations in Norfolk.

Mike was a friendly and informative guide showing good knowledge on a variety of wildlife topics.

Day trip strolling in fits and starts along short bit of ridgeway while people who knew what they were doing looked at birds

Efficient , good range of tours, nicely produced literature

The thing about going on a holiday like this to Fuerteventura is not the location, but the fact that everything logistically runs smooth. One expects hot days, dry landscape and barren river beds in such places. But it's about how you roll with those conditions to make the experience enjoyable and fulfilling. Visits to the few remaining oasis's left on the island after four months without rain were therefore welcome. We only found two such places left on the island- the main reservoir was a salty empty valley with only an inch or two of very smelly water left in a restricted area. Yet despite all of this adversity, we did manage to see the species we were all excited to see and no doubt were the reason for choosing this holiday. Disappointed that the only seabird we saw was a very lonely Gannet patrolling the maelstrom of heaving waves at the southern tip of the island. The trips were enchanting, with the morning and evening sun casting wonderful colours off of the surrounding mountains. The scenery was imposing and beautiful, with the ocean in the western side rugged and tempestuous at best!

This was my third trip with Naturetrek. I am always amazed by the knowledge and experience of the bird guides, who can mostly spot a bird for a microsecond and make an instant identification- even when that particular bird was an unexpected rarity
