A jolly troll around the usually wet and muddy parts of His Majesty’s Training Area, with the added excitement* of an attempt to spot, among other things, the flock of breeding Great Bustards that now reside on the East side. These birds are huge – child sized – and well worth seeing.
Bring your binoculars, or fight over our 3 pairs of bins and two telescopes.
Here’s the video of last year’s tour:

In addition to many, many lanes, if there is any other unusual wildlife on the Plain we’ll try and find that as well – so possible Hen Harrier and owls, both of which we managed to bag last year in our 60 species total.
The tour ends at dusk with the Starling Murmuration which most years is a significant size – several hundred thousand birds – and if the flags are down we should be able to get quite close. Suitable for all vehicles and all levels of birdwatching experience. You will learn stuff!
*Excitement is optional. Birds cannot be guaranteed. It will probably rain. BUT it will be a great day out.
