Overview
Come and join us for exciting birding any time of year on our
Day out on the Dee! We explore a range of habitats and locations on the Welsh and English side of this huge estuary, visiting wide open marshes, saltmarsh and freshwater lagoons and some areas of damp woodland too. This gives us an excellent chance of encountering some
scarce raptors along with huge numbers of
wildfowl and waders which will be on their wintering grounds. Expect to see a lot of birds!

On this exciting daytrip packed with bird en mass, we will visit a variety of habitats both in North Wales and across the border in England, but don't worry, you won't need your passport! On both sides of the impressive
Dee Estuary we will visit the best birdwatching locations to look for our target species. These may include flocks of wintering wildfowl such as Wigeon, Teal, and
Pintail, waders including Black-tailed Godwit, Common Snipe and
Golden Plover, and with luck, maybe a Whooper Swan or two. Looking up, we will scan the skies for raptors including
Hen Harrier, Peregrine and Merlin. Other birds in this fascinating area may also include Stock Dove, Little Owl and Stonechat.

With many years’ experience in running popular guided daytrips throughout the year, we know just where to go for the
best birds. We are also in touch with the latest bird news so we can look for any special birds that may be in the area. We always take our time to enjoy good looks at all the birds we encounter to give you the
best possible experience.
Expect a bird-packed and fun-filled guided birdwatching daytrip!
