Bird Watching, Aberdeenshire

Ythan Estuary, Aberdeenshire

ID Workshop for Birds: Estuary & Coast

We visit the Aberdeenshire coast where terns, spring waders, huge seabird colonies and farmland birds await. Join us on our not-for-profit workshop to get the most out of your birding and expand your field skills.

18th May 2023Get more from your birding! 

The varied habitats of the Aberdeenshire coast host a variety of birds from the waders and ducks of the Ythan estuary to the seabird cliffs of Fowlseugh and passerines amongst the farmland. This bird workshop will drill down into the finer aspects of bird identification at each location.

Join our back-to-back bird ID workshops from the Cairngorms to the coast.

Profit from these events goes to the nature reserves utilised and also to raptor conservation in Scotland.
