Saturday 11th October | from 8:00am – 5:00pm, La Claire Mare Nature Reserve
Join Nature Guernsey for a day of bird watching where we try to identify as many bird species as possible during the day. We’re hoping to spot at least 50 species throughout the day – come along and be a part of the fun!
La Claire Mare is one the island’s premier reserves for bird and is comprised of wet grassland, reedbeds and open water. Pop by to learn more about this site, how it supports our local bird life and, most importantly, help us to identify the species we see!
Our Ornithology experts will be stationed at the reserve from 5am and on call throughout the day to help identify the birds we see. They will also be leading small walks across to the Shingle Bank.
Birdwatching provides huge amounts of data to conservation research and this event is an ideal opportunity to get outside, enjoy some beautiful natural surroundings and give attention to these amazing flying creatures. Whether you’re a beginner or an expert, everyone is welcome. 🐦 Bring along some binoculars if you have them, or if not, some will be provided.
Nature Guernsey events are free and open to all. Donations are always welcome.
Location: Please park in one the coastal carparks, and walk along to the hide here.
