Wild wetland bird walk

Brownsea Island is a haven for bird enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. Our guided walks, led by an expert Dorset Wildlife Trust ranger, take you through the island's vibrant wetlands, where the Brownsea Lagoon stands as a premier birdwatching destination in England.

The lagoon's shallow, nutrient-rich waters draw in thousands of birds annually, creating a dynamic and ever-changing avian spectacle.

Each walk is a celebration of the seasonal bird phenomena that make Brownsea so special. From the bustling spring migrations to the tranquil winter gatherings, you'll witness the incredible diversity of birdlife that calls this island home.

After your birdwatching adventure, relax with a light bite at the harbour-front café. Then, continue your exploration of Brownsea's natural wonders, including the elusive and enchanting red squirrels.

Walks are on monthly, except August.
