Presenter: John Gordon

From the wide open spaces of the Welsh Black Mountains, to the famous Slimbridge Wildlife and Wetland Centre on the Severn Estuary, join with John on this visit to some of the UK’s most varied birding locations.
Close by to Slimbridge, the historical Forest of Dean offers glimpses of forest birds and wild boar, while for the birding traveler from overseas landing at Heathrow, John includes locations close to the airport for even more avian delights.
Travelling further afield, John takes us to Northumberland’s Farne Islands in the North Sea off England’s North East coast, and closes the presentation with a look at birding in Lincolnshire, including RSPB sites Frampton and Gibraltar Point on England’s east coast.
