Utilising sites such as the wonderful Portland Bird Observatory, and at a time when many birds will be passing through on their way back into Europe and beyond - anything is possible! Firecrests, Black Redstarts, Ring Ouzels or perhaps a Yellow-browed Warbler or Red-breasted Flycatcher. Birding at a site such as this can be very exciting indeed. We will also visit other sites including RSPB Radipole and Lodmoor with their vast reedbeds and wetlands, staying at a superbly located hotel on the Isle of Portland.

  • Visit the famous Portland Bird Observatory!
  • Spoonbills in Poole Harbour
  • Look for exciting birds such as Yellow-browed Warbler & Firecrest
  • Moth-trap - previous species include Palpita vitrealis and Convolvulus Hawk-moth
  • Heathland species may comprise Dartford Warbler & Woodlark
  • A chance for Eurasian Otter
  • Led by an expert naturalist guide

From the rolling heaths and woodlands of the New Forest National Park to the extensive wetlands that line the north Norfolk coastline, the varied habitats and landscapes of the British Isles are home to a wealth of exciting wildlife. It is definitely not essential to go abroad when wildlife holidays in Britain offer such diversity!

The long distance migration of birds is a truly remarkable feat and certainly one of the real wonders of the natural world. During this exciting and varied new weekend break this phenomenon will be at the forefront of our minds as we explore some of Dorset’s finest nature reserves watching for migrant birds and learning about them as we go. We shall watch from headlands, join a bird ringing session, visit an observatory, cruise across Poole harbour and also open some moth traps. All this will be coupled with some superb hospitality.

We will be based for our three nights at the Heights Hotel on Portland. Meeting at the hotel in the early afternoon we shall visit a nearby site for our first exploration. We will enjoy a walk looking for migrants which may include Wheatear, Whinchat, migrant thrushes, and perhaps some birds moving over the sea before we return for a delicious dinner.

Across the nest three days we will enjoy a great range and variety of activities. At Durlston National Nature Reserve we shall join the local ringing group for a demonstration. Species caught may include warblers with Chiffchaffs and Blackcaps common, finches such as Brambling and Linnets and with birds moving anything can be found. We shall also open two moth traps here to see what we can find with this site very good for migrant moths as well as birds. A ferry across to Poole will provide us with wildfowl, waders and raptors with Spoonbill, Spotted Redshank, Brent Geese, Marsh Harrier and many more species possible.

We will also visit the wonderful Portland bird observatory and at this time many birds will be passing through on their way back into Europe and beyond. Anything is possible with Firecrests, Black Redstarts, Ring Ouzels or perhaps a Yellow-browed Warbler or Red-breasted Flycatcher. Birding at a site such as this can be very exciting indeed. We shall also visit sites including RSPB Radipole and Lodmoor with their vast reedbeds and wetlands.

Summary

The long distance migration of birds is a truly remarkable feat and certainly one of the real wonders of the natural world. During this exciting and varied new weekend break this phenomenon will be at the forefront of our minds as we explore some of Dorset’s finest nature reserves watching for migrant birds and learning about them as we go. We shall watch from headlands, join a bird ringing session, visit an observatory, cruise across Poole harbour and also open some moth traps. All this will be coupled with some superb hospitality.

We will be based for our three nights at the Heights Hotel on Portland. Meeting at the hotel in the early afternoon we shall visit a nearby site for our first exploration. We will enjoy a walk looking for migrants which may include Wheatear, Whinchat, migrant thrushes, and perhaps some birds moving over the sea before we return for a delicious dinner.

Across the nest three days we will enjoy a great range and variety of activities. At Durlston National Nature Reserve we shall join the local ringing group for a demonstration. Species caught may include warblers with Chiffchaffs and Blackcaps common, finches such as Brambling and Linnets and with birds moving anything can be found. We shall also open two moth traps here to see what we can find with this site very good for migrant moths as well as birds. A ferry across to Poole will provide us with wildfowl, waders and raptors with Spoonbill, Spotted Redshank, Brent Geese, Marsh Harrier and many more species possible.

We will also visit the wonderful Portland bird observatory and at this time many birds will be passing through on their way back into Europe and beyond. Anything is possible with Firecrests, Black Redstarts, Ring Ouzels or perhaps a Yellow-browed Warbler or Red-breasted Flycatcher. Birding at a site such as this can be very exciting indeed. We shall also visit sites including RSPB Radipole and Lodmoor with their vast reedbeds and wetlands.

K.G. Merseyside, Oct 25, Oct 2025

What a great few days!. Every day was different and interesting. Portland is unique. I loved the Fleet, and the waders and of course Brownsea Island was a treat. We saw the gorgeous Red Squirrels really well there, but for me 112 Spoonbills were a highlight, even if they were mostly in the distance. The Little Owl near Portland Bill was fabulous and seeing Tuna jumping and Gannets flying off the Bill was wonderful. Some fabulous sunsets and sunrises and seeing the Meadow Pipits and other birds flying over in the early morning was really good. And of course watching bird ringing and seeing Goldcrest and Redstart close up was a big highlight. All in all a wonderful trip. Thanks.
