Find your birdwatching tour of a lifetime
Reconnect with Nature, Rejuvenate your mind
Custom built birding trips, organised tours & mindful birdwatching courses
Do you want to see some of the UK’s star birds? Whether you want to see the elusive Hawfinch, the declining Lesser Spotted Woodpecker; those Phantoms of the Forest, the magnificent Goshawk then Shrike Birding Tours is for you. We can help you find some of Britain’s best birds, some of them almost on your doorstep.
You can visit the Derbyshire Moors and Dales in search of Red Grouse, Britain’s newest endemic species, hear the plaintive song of the Golden Plover or watch the Dipper walk under water.
At Shrike Birding Tours we can also take you to witness the winter wonderlands in the Fens or looking for Heathland specialities like the Nightjar, Stone Curlew and Woodlark.
Whatever your ability we can tailor a trip to suit you or you can join one of our regular birding experience days.
