Birds, Flowers & Butterflies Break

Immerse yourself in David’s intimate birdwatching and wildlife tours, tailored “for the more discerning”, which have garnered exceptional acclaim over numerous years, both in the idyllic Isles of Scilly, across the UK, and internationally.

Embark on an exploration of Scilly’s enchanting paradise with David as your guide, meandering through pristine white sandy beaches, rugged moorland, ancient woodland, and sheltered bulb fields, as well as Tresco’s renowned Abbey Garden.

Beyond the magnificent wildlife, enjoy the unique atmosphere, camaraderie, leisurely walks, radiant hues and breathtaking views; a vibrant tapestry of experiences and a deep appreciation for nature and the outdoors.

The Spring Migration

During the spring break (25th – 30th April 2026), you might witness species including water rail, sandwich tern, whimbrel and golden plover, hobby, osprey & marsh harrier, alongside the likes of purple heron, red-rumped swallow and woodchat.

The Autumn Migration

Opt for an autumn break and be on the lookout for migrating raptors, waders, warblers, pipits, wagtails, chats, and flycatchers, among a diverse array of other avian wonders. In blustery weather, experience the spectacle of Kittiwakes, Fulmars, and Gannets soaring across the sky, sometimes accompanied by skuas, terns, and shearwaters.

The next Autumn Migration is 20th – 25th September 2025, with another from 19th – 24th September 2026.
