Autumn bird tours photo round-up!

It's been a very busy season for our Sussex and London tours so instead of writing them up for the journal individually, why not have a look back at some of the overall highlights?

We've met some awesome people from across the UK and overseas over the last few weeks and it has been a priviledge to share the birds of Sussex and South East England with them. Every single tour went wonderfully, with countless memorable avian encounters and long lists of lifers for our clients.

Back in September we were enjoying a variety of migrant warblers, like this Sedge Warbler at Pagham Harbour

The South Downs delivered sightings of Wheatears passing through on their way south to Africa

Several trips to the Arun Valley featured the spectacular White-tailed Eagles

Evenings often finished with Grey Partridges and owls

Wetlands delivered exciting waders like these Spotted Redshanks in a feeding frenzy

Along with familiar coastal favourites like Curlew

The heaths were still alive with the sound of Woodlark on bright days...

... and the fuzzy calls of Dartford Warblers

Treecreepers always brighten up a woodland walk

... As do Marsh Tits...

...And Firecrests

A sunbathing Little Owl was a welcome bonus on bright days

Every day is different. You can never see every target species but often something unexpected appears instead. We'd never have counted on finding Lesser Spotted Woodpecker in October but one crossed our path!

We'll long remember the season for finding Sussex's THIRD-EVER Olive-backed Pipit at Cissbury Ring during a Sussex Guided Bird Walk -- what a result!

Christmas is coming up so why not treat someone special to a tour voucher?
