Birdwatching Holidays on the Island

Published by: Tapnell Farm

The Isle of Wight is an amazing place for birdwatching, with nature reserves, wildlife sites and over 150 kilometres of spectacular coastline to explore.

We are now entering the autumn migration period and are excited at the expectation of seeing good numbers of winter visitors including ducks and geese, right down to our smallest migratory bird, the gold crest, weighing just 5 grams, and the less common, fire crests. A good spot to view both is along the Yarmouth causeway.
