Booking a Bird Tour
Once you have had a look at the website and decided on your preferred tour and date(s), please contact us by
email or phone to discuss your requirements and our availability. We can then reserve you a place on the bird
watching tour of your choice.
The Bird ID Company is often able to accommodate a late booking if there are places left, so it is always worth
contacting us to ask. However, it is generally advisable to book early as we do get busy, especially during
peak seasons.
For tours involving accommodation, all rooms are arranged to order so we will then make a provisional booking
for you and get back to you with a quotation. The deposit payable on booking is typically 20&percent; of the total
tour cost, although some accommodation providers have differing terms, so we will confirm the exact deposit
along with your quotation. For our regular scheduled group day tours, the deposit is £10 per person.
After we have finalised a package which fits your requirements, we will then get you to complete the
booking form
and send it to us along with the appropriate deposit. On receipt of the booking form and deposit we will contact
you in writing with confirmation of your booking. You can see our full terms & conditions
here.
We will contact you again shortly before the tour to confirm the final details of the meeting place and time.
Payment of the outstanding balance for your tour is due at least 14 days beforehand for tours involving
accommodation, or on the day or beforehand for all other tours. Payment can be made by cash, cheque or
electronic bank transfer.
Please bring your binoculars with you on the day. If you do not have binoculars, let us know and we may be able
to provide you with a pair to use for the day. The tour leader will always carry a telescope for the group
to share, but you are welcome to bring yours as well if you have one. There are usually plenty of opportunities
to take photographs on the day if you would like to bring a camera.
It is important that all clients wear appropriate clothing and footwear for the time of year and given the
weather conditions on the day. Also please note that you will need to bring food and drink for the day unless
otherwise stated.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
