A guided walk with the Birdman of Bosham
Guided walk with the Birdman of Bosham!
Join local ornithologist Hugh Baggaley for a guided walk around the harbour in Bosham to discover the remarkable array of birds found here. On the walk you will learn about the lives and habits of our different birds, as well as learning how to find and identify the different species.
Chichester Harbour is an internationally important site for wintering wetland birds. These wintering species include waders such as dunlin and curlew, ducks including wigeon, teal and red-breasted merganser, and the brent geese that form impressive flocks thousands strong.
The walks are suitable for all levels of knowledge, with no prior experience required.
About the walks:
January
In January the harbour is at its busiest with birds. This is the time to appreciate the abundance of life that the mudflats and saltmarshes support. Several thousand wetland birds use the harbour around Bosham. Swirling flocks of wading birds are a particular highlight during this time, and many species such as wigeon and teal are at their peak numbers.
