A 1-day tour in North Norfolk to looking for summer breeding birds and any late spring migrants.

Summer Birds & Other Wildlife

East Anglia is lucky to be blessed with several very rare or scarce breeding species – including Spoonbills, Dartford Warblers and Woodlarks. In 2022 and 2023, we also had breeding Bee-eaters in a local quarry. Our summer tours will focus on looking for these rare breeding birds, as well as providing opportunities to catch up with other iconic local breeding species, such as Marsh Harriers, Avocets and Bearded Tits. There is also a good variety of other wildlife to see at this time of year, and we always see a great selection of different butterflies, dragonflies, etc on these tours.

Spring Migration

Spring migration continues even into early June, and the right conditions can bring late falls of migrants. Amongst the Redstarts and flycatchers heading for Scandinavia there could be Icterine or Marsh Warblers, possibly even a Bluethroat or perhaps something even rarer. On previous June tours we have seen exciting species like Red-footed Falcon, Red-backed and Lesser Grey Shrikes, Great Reed Warbler and Rose-coloured Starling.
