Morning
Tea, coffee or a soft drink when you arrive and meet your guide, who will give an overview for the day. Now is the time to borrow some binoculars!
Shortly after 09:30 you'll head on a walk north to Kilnsea Wetlands, which takes about one hour. En route you'll see some of the great habitat and have a chance to experience some of the bush birds that could have made the long trip across the North Sea at this time of year, including some potential rarities!
Once at Kilnsea Wetlands you'll have up to 40 minutes and the opportunity to see some of the fantastic wetland species that the area has to offer. From here you'll continue your walk through the village of Kilnsea and back to the Spurn Discovery Centre for lunch (12.00 - 13.00) with fantastic views over the Humber from the café windows.
Afternoon
After lunch it's a five-minute walk to our famous Unimog, which will transport you down the peninsula to the very tip of Spurn Point, stopping at key locations to check for species along the way.
At Spurn Point we'll guide you in and around the vegetation, searching for different bird species. We'll share our top techniques and tips on just how to get the most out of a walk in nature and to fully appreciate what’s around you.
Finally, you can visit Spurn lighthouse; a guided tour to the top of the lighthouse, where you truly get a bird’s eye view and understand what makes Spurn such a special, internationally renowned place for birding.
The Unimog will pick you up and transport you back to the Spurn Discovery Centre for a 17:00 finish.
