Sussex Bird Safari - Thorney Island (15/09/17) Friday, 15th September 2017 9:30 AM - 4:30 PM

This safari takes us to the most western point of Sussex and we follow the footpath all the way around the Island that juts out into Chichester Harbour. It is a time where autumn migration reaches its peak and there will hopefully be a variety of waders probing for food in the mudflats. Also, whinchats, wheatears and other small birds will also be passing through. There is a good chance of seeing osprey as well, as one or two stay around here for a few weeks in the autumn. On the western side of the Island there is a reedbed which holds one of the only populations of bearded tits in West Sussex.

No previous knowledge or skills required, just enthusiasm!

Meet at the small car park in Prinsted Lane which is situated off the A259 just before Emsworth. Postcode PO10 8HS.

Limited parking so car sharing would be preferable.

Booking essential
