The Bird Aware Solent team spend its time visiting busy places where people and birds share the shorelines. We cover important areas from Hurst Spit in Hampshire, the northern coast of the Isle of Wight, and across to Chichester in West Sussex.
Bird Aware Solent is a partnership of local authorities and conservation groups which helps safeguard the future of internationally protected geese, ducks and wading birds.
Our rangers talk to Solent’s visitors about its worldwide importance for wildlife thanks to its patchwork of protected habitats. Up to 125,000 birds migrate to the area every year from as far away as the Arctic. Find out more about our coastal birds’ migratory stories.
