Walk with a Ranger at Rye Harbour - Winter Birds and their Migration (27/02/25)

Walk Leader: Matt Rich

*This event is now fully booked, the next walk is with Ranger Dave: Walk with a Ranger at Rye Harbour - Spring Birds (27/03/25)*

Join our Ranger Matt for an exclusive guided walk around Rye Harbour Nature Reserve, one of the largest and most important wildlife sites in England.

Focusing on winter birds and their migration, you'll spot seasonal wildlife and hear from Matt about the work of the rangers and our volunteers. 

Rye Harbour Nature Reserve is a wetland habitat of international importance, particularly for waterbirds. There's a mosaic of habitats including saltmarsh, grazing marsh, shingle, scrub, lagoons and ditches which support many rare and vulnerable species.

There will be opportunities to ask questions on our walk, and we recommend bringing binoculars. Although if you don't own a pair, we’ll have some available to borrow.

Location: Meet at Rye Harbour Discovery Centre, Rye Harbour, TN31 7FW, see our website for how to find us.

Accessibility: Our gently-paced 2 mile (3 km) walk will start and end at Rye Harbour Discovery Centre, a wheelchair-friendly venue, with a step-free entrance ramp. Toilet facilities include two that are wheelchair accessible, and we will be no more than a mile away from them on the walk. Most of the route is easy for wheelchairs, and the bird hides are accessible. However a section of the walk has some uneven and loose surfaces, making it moderately difficult for manual wheelchairs.

Public Transport: The 313 Stagecoach bus travels from Northiam to Rye train station and on to Rye Harbour village.
