Join in the Great Solent Birdwatch

The Great Solent Birdwatch 2023 is a wildlife event that marks the arrival of the migratory coastal birds which spend the winter in and around The Solent. 

Adults & children can birdwatch around the Milford on Sea village coast at any time from Saturday 14th October to Sunday 29th October, for up to an hour.

By joining in you will increase your knowledge of the coastal birds in your local area, help contribute valuable data, and learn how to become more bird aware.

Sturt Pond and the surrounding area could be a good location to spot birds, but anywhere is the village is included.

To take part you simply tick off the different species you see in one hour. You can download the Great Coastal Birdwatch recording form, or our Children’s Great Coastal Birdwatch recording form, to tick off which birds you see.

Then let the Great Solent Birdwatch know which species of birds you spotted using their special online form or by emailing them at info@birdaware.org.
