Bird Aware Solent
We raise awareness of the birds that spend time on our Solent coastline and encourage everyone to share our shores with wildlife.

Rangers’ recommended waterside walks
Our Rangers share some of their favourite waterside walks around the Solent, together with tips for looking out for birds
The Coastal Code
Help us protect the birds around the Solent by sharing our shores. Follow four simple steps to protect the wildlife which makes our area special.
Wildlife-aware beach cleans
To help people learn about the impact on wildlife when they’re clearing litter from the beach, we’ve joined forces with the Final Straw Foundation, the Marine Conservation Society and the 2 Minute Foundation to create some helpful guides.
Protected areas
52 million visits are made to the Solent coast each year but many people who live or holiday here don’t know about the area’s huge value for wildlife.
Events
Meet up with our Rangers – online and in person – at guided walks and pop-up events
Bird disturbance
Some human activities can disturb birds from their natural behaviours and make it harder for them to survive and thrive on our coastlines.

It’s been inspiring to hear about the work of female rangers at the start of #worldfemalerangerweek, 23 -30 June 🙌
Our ranger team are proud to spend their time raising awareness of birds on the lovely Solent coastline, encouraging everyone to #shareourshores with wildlife 💙
Beautiful sunrise over the lower Meon Valley ❤️ Belated solstice, not quite longest day - still 0452 here.
The yellow horned-poppy is a beautiful coastal flower – great to seek out as one of your #30DaysWild this June. It’s named for its long curved seed pods which are said to look like horns. Now a protected species so it mustn’t be picked when growing in the wild 🏵️🌸🏵️
Next in our series of bird call ID guides are our most common visitors to gardens 🎵 These species were the top 5 birds spotted in the @RSPB’s Big Garden Birdwatch.
How many you can spot as part of this year’s @WildlifeTrusts's #30DaysWild?
