MCV - Creeks & Saltmarsh
‘Birding Trips’
Over the past four years MCV has organised
special birding trips in conjunction with Hurst
Castle Ferries (HCF) for anyone interested in
seeing winter birds around the Keyhaven and
Hurst Castle creeks, channels and marshes.
These have proved extremely popular with MCV
and Lymington Naturalists group members. To
date we have conducted thirty-three trips and
have more planned in February and March 2020
during which time the winter birds will have
started moving back to their summer breeding
grounds in Siberia, Iceland and Greenland.
Keyhaven Creeks & Saltmarsh
Each trip has two ‘expert’ birders and an
experienced HCF skipper on board who point
out everything we see on the 1.5 to 2-hour
trips.
Seats are available at £15 each.
Birding for Beginners’
Free
Sessions Every Month
If you would like to brush up on your bird
identification skills why not join our “experts”
at either the Bird Observatory at Keyhaven on
the 1st Saturday of each month or the Bird
Hide at Sturt Pond on the 3rd Saturday of each
month throughout the year between 10am
and Noon.
These sessions are FREE, but a small donation is
always welcome to help replenish bird food or
carry out repairs to the facilities.

Pennington, Everton, Sway or Hordle) group

trip just let us know by contacting:
