Start the Great Coastal Birdwatch with a Guided Wildlife Walk

We’re kicking off the 2025 Great Coastal Birdwatch with a guided walk in Brightlingsea. Come and explore and see what you can see! 

Join us for a light stroll as we take in the beauty that Brightlingsea Marshes has to offer. Our team of coastal rangers will guide you from Bateman’s Tower to Moverons Farm, pointing out not only the magnificent bird species we have on our coast, but also the important habitats and a variety of wildlife along the way.

Whether you’re after a fun family activity, a seasoned birdwatcher or just wanting to be outside in nature, this walk is perfect for you! If you have them, don’t forget to bring your binoculars and cameras as we will be taking plenty of stops along the way.

We will meet at Bateman’s Tower at 1pm. Please bring suitable footwear, as the paths can get muddy and slippery after wet weather.

Please feel free to get in touch with us at: info.essex@birdaware.org for any questions or queries!
