Join a member of the Scottish Seabird Centre’s conservation team for a wildlife wander along the coast to find out more about the wonderful birds, marine mammals, and plants that can be spotted around Scotland’s shores. Everyone is welcome to ask questions, share their knowledge and experiences, or simply unwind and enjoy the wildlife. Friendly, quiet dogs are welcome, but we ask that they are kept on a short lead throughout.

Ages 16+.

Route: The tour will start and finish outside the Scottish Seabird Centre, taking participants on a return journey along Milsey Bay beach. Tours will vary depending on the wildlife around and the particular interests of the participants, but a variety of species and habitats will be explored and discussed.

What will we provide? Binoculars (for the duration of the event), alcohol hand-gel (if needed).

What do you need to bring? Sturdy boots or shoes, clothing appropriate for the weather outside, a drink, any medication you may need, a mobile phone, sun protection (good weather days).

Accessibility: We will be on the move for around 45 minutes during this tour, and the route includes some gentle slopes, uneven sand, rocky ground, and slippy surfaces. We will always try to adjust the pace and the route to make sure that everyone is comfortable, but please let us know in advance if you have questions or concerns. You can direct queries to conservationprojects@seabird.org.

We are delighted that, thanks to the incredible work of the team at Beach Wheelchairs, all of our coastal wildlife tours are now accessible for wheelchair users (subject to availability). To discuss available equipment and book a session to coincide with this event, get in touch with the Beach Wheelchair volunteers on: info@beachwheelchairs.org or give them a call on: 0300 111 2112. They have a range of adapted manual wheelchairs and an all terrain power wheelchair that can be used both directly and with attendant controls. They also have a hoist. The experienced volunteers will chat through options with you to make sure you get the best experience possible.
