2023 Winter Birding And Wildlife Photography - Coast And Wetlands
February 7th - 9th 2023
Winter in East and North Yorkshire is a great time for many birds from wildfowl and waders to gulls and songbirds.
Highfield Farm close to Driffield is ideally placed as a base to explore great winter sites such as Top Hill Low, The Yorkshire Coast and North Cave Wetlands which is a Yorkshire Wildlife Trust reserve and is one of the best places in our county for winter wildfowl from Whooper Swans to Goldeneye.
On the Yorkshire Coast there are great sites for Purple Sandpiper and Mediterranean Gull. Nearby in Scarborough Harbour divers such as Red-throated, Great Northern and Black-throated and Little Auks often shelter from the rough sea. This is also a great area for Kingfishers in the winter. Surprises often turn up, in past years up to 6 Black-necked Grebes were found and at Scalby Mills, Scarborough an American Wigeon.
YCN expert guide and pro wildlife photographer Steve Race will work hard to ensure you have memorable experiences. Our small group tours ensure you learn a great deal, from identification tips to field craft advice, as well as getting to grips with those difficult-to-find species. If you are interested in wildlife photography, there will be plenty of opportunities to learn new skills or improve your technique from our award winning professional wildlife photographer.
