Spring Tour:
The Peak District supports important populations of breeding birds including Red Grouse, Lapwing, Golden Plover, Curlew and Ring Ouzel. Our bird count will be high with the returning summer migrants arriving before the last of the winter migrants depart.

Summer Tour:
Most of the birds seen on the Spring tour will still be seen with the summer migrants now in residence. We will also search out some target species such as Hobby and breeding Waders and Warblers

Autumn Tour:
Autumn migration means that just about anything can turn up and we will be out on the big reservoirs of the area looking for migrant birds such as Osprey, and returning winter birds such as the Redwings and Fieldfares

Winter Tour:
Brambling and crossbill can be found in winter, we will also be Raptor watching looking for Goshawk, Buzzard, Hen Harrier, Sparrowhawk and Raven, We may go slightly further a field in search of Yorkshire Red Kites
