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.

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.
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.
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.

Putting up a bird feeder is a sure-fire way to attract birds into your garden and is such an easy first step to get into wildlife gardening. Read how Sandy on the Isle of Wight got into wildlife gardening! 👇

With Christmas a few weeks away, it's a good excuse for a #12birdsofChristmas countdown. Kicking off we have Eurasian curlew: probably most recognisable by their evocative call. Turn up the volume - doesn’t that sound sum up our beautiful coastline?🎵
