Our team will be visiting Holes Bay this Sunday to help you bird this superb urban hotspot. Recent sightings from the site include great counts of Avocet, Black-tailed Godwit and Dunlin, as well as vast numbers of wildfowl and a small but faithful flock of Knot. The site offers a great opportunity to get your head around wader and wildfowl identification with our team.
Unfortunately, we are currently unable to share our optics at public events to limit risk of spreading Covid-19. Therefore, if you have your own binoculars and scopes, please bring them along, they will be really useful! Holes Bay is fully accessible with a cycle path running along much of the shoreline. The closest car park (pay & display) is located at Upton Country Park.
