Trip to the UK - 2005/12/15 06:47 Hi all! I'm a birder, but in the US! I don't know UK birds OR good spots to bird. I'll be in the UK the 1st 2 weeks of November with my sister (who has JUST started birding here) - and I'm sure I can drag her to a few spots to bird!! I'll list where we'll be & any help on good spots nearby those areas would be GREATLY appreciated!! Thanks!

Nov 3,4,5 in the Cotswolds area, staying near Stow-on-the-Wold.

Nov 6 - Warwick to Leicester

Nov 7,8 - Petersborough, Saffron Walden area

Nov. 9, 10 - York, Barton-Upon-Humber area

Nov. 11, 12 - Oldham, Peak District area

Nov. 13-15 - Shropshire area (mainly western, but we're flexible!)

I already know that we don't have enough time in the places we'll be (we're seeing folk concerts in some of these areas, that's why we're jumping around some).

Thanks for ANY information!!

Re:Trip to the UK - 2005/12/15 06:47 The Cotswold Water Park is a good place for beginners to go birdwatching. You would possibly need the best part of a day there to explore. Click on this link http://www.waterpark.org/wildlife.html for more information. Another website with information on birdwatching in Shropshire is http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/worldwidebirdsites/Shropshire.htm I guess you could access it and chose to view sites in all the counties you will be visiting.

Hope this is of some help. If ever you are visiting Ireland give me a shout, I run a rural bed and breakfast in County Cork. Great birdwatching here too you know.

Hope you have a lovely visit to England,

Regards, Julie
