Summary
There is no better place to experience the wonders of migration than the famous coastline of north Norfolk! On this new 7-day, 2-centre, birdwatching tour, we will work our way through this scenic region, beginning in the west in Hunstanton and then moving east around the coast to the reed-fringed wetland of the Norfolk Broads. We hope to find a wonderful array of migrant waterfowl, waders, passerines and seabirds, which rub shoulders in September with local specialities such as Common Crane, Avocet and Bearded Tit. Of course, at this time of year anything can turn up – especially with an easterly breeze – and we will be hoping for a rarity or two along the way, such as Wryneck, Red-backed Shrike or perhaps even a Red-flanked Bluetail!
- Explore Norfolk’s north coast & visit some of the region’s most iconic reserves
- Migrating chats, warblers, flycatchers & thrushes
- Good chance of something rarer!
- Waders such as Curlew Sandpiper, Little Stint. Golden Plover & Ruff
- Explore the wetlands of the Norfolk Broads
- Common Crane, Marsh Harrier, Bearded Tit, Bittern & Barn Owl all possible
- Enjoy movements of seaduck, skuas, divers & others
- Led by an expert Naturetrek naturalist
