In 2008 we set a world record for the most bird species in a year. Now, as record-breaking birders, we want to share our passion for birds with you. We offer guided birdwatching tours for a day, a weekend or longer, so let us show you the best birds in North Wales where we’re based, throughout the UK and beyond.

We offer guided tours for all tastes, ie relaxed bird watching or a fast-paced tour. Let us tailor a trip for you, or join our set departure tours. Click here: Guided Bird Watching in North Wales for our daytrips or guided birdwatching holidays in the UK.

Sounds like our walk on the Cairngorms next week might not happen: too much snow! Good weather for Ptarmigans perhaps?!
