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.
Home
Nature-friendly watersports
New signs along the River Hamble will help paddleboarders and kayakers stay wildlife aware when they’re out on the water. Find out more in our latest news.
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.

Our rangers sure are keeping busy this summer attending different events around the #Solent and it's been great meeting so many of you 😀 We have two events tomorrow (see linked tweets) & details of everything we have coming up can be found on our website: https://birdaware.org/solent/events/
It’s a thrilling wildlife experience to see Solent's seals resting on the beach or playing in the sea 💙
But like our coastal birds, seals depend on us to give them lots of space without being disturbed. Find out what you can do to help: https://bit.ly/3PtPC06
Sad news from Alice - I’m leaving Bird Wise at the end of this month ⛵ I’ll miss the job hugely but good news for someone out there - this role is now up for grabs! If you love nature, working with people & sharing your enthusiasm then check it out 🐦 🔭 https://bit.ly/3BZR0oe
Here’s the next of our bird call guides 🎶. This time it's 4 of types of goose: greylag, brent, Canada & barnacle.
A few brents have been seen in Chichester Harbour recently: they’ll soon be joined by 1000s returning from summer breeding grounds. We can't wait to hear them 💙
