Join natural history guide Madeline for this bird watching holiday in ever popular Northumbria. The coast is simply stunning and there are many opportunities to see a variety of coastal birds including puffin, kittiwake, fulmar, gannet..the list goes on.

The holiday is based in Beadnell with great access to the coast. We hope to take a boat trip to the Farne Islands to get a closer look at the cliff nesting birdlife. It is a very special experience and a sight to behold due to the sheer number of birds nesting there. We will also head to Lindisfarne for the day which is host to a number of birds and a fascinatin island in its own right.
