Serious or occasional birder? Travelling to or within
an unfamiliar city or area of Britain? A tour or guide inconvenient?
I can build an itinerary of the best sites (not always obvious from “Where to Watch” guides)
for you to visit at your own pace.
Other benefits
- more up-to-date than a guidebook with its typical two-year publishing lag
- environmental birding that puts trains, buses and even boats first
- fit your birding round the rest of your holiday or life
- see more bird species, even on a tight time budget
- save hours of research and planning
- a simple route centred on your chosen cities or holiday areas
- the convenience of a "virtual" guide but you still get the thrill of the chase,
of finding your own birds
- I have personally visited most of the offered sites
and most of those within the last 2 years
- you can choose target species and we'll do our best to fit 'em in!
- free appendix of my
Build a British Bird List
- each sale includes a
charity donation

What you get
A ring-bound booklet or PDF, built on Lulu,
with a summary of the species highlights and the route to be taken with travel times
plus,
for each site
- the star species and a likely checklist from my own experience
(no compilations from hundreds of birders to inflate expectations!)
- a green emphasis on access by public transport, especially railways
- but also car hire, driving directions and parking spots
- a half-day itinerary round the best of the site
- likely disturbance from other people, dogs, etc.
- caveats about opening/travelling restrictions and times of year to visit
- notes about refreshments, pubs (and beer!), supermarkets with their hours, local lodgings and toilets
- all other costs, like fares, petrol and entrance fees
- some lesser known nearby attractions, especially as wet-weather options
