Bird Week
12-19 March 2016
Join a week long tour discovering the islands birdlife. The focus is on the seabirds, and there are plenty of opportunities for close encounters where we can sit and observe the birds in flight, at the nest and feeding chicks. We visit all the best seabird locations, and along the walking tacks have the opportunity to see the landbirds. Also included we lean about the island’s geology, flora and marine life. Small group, three boat trips and all evening meals included.
