Chichester Harbour Conservancy - Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

Bird Watcher

Introduction | Directions | Map

Chichester Harbour is used by around 55,000 birds who come here for the tranquillity and food-packed harbour mud. The majority of these visit in the winter months including over 10,000 Brent Geese. Wrap up warm and grab your binoculars and a bird guide to follow our great bird-spotting day out.

Note: The bird watching trips are usually scheduled between November and February. See the what's on page for details of Solar Heritage bird trips or call 01243 513275.

Directions

	1. Book a place on a Bird Watching trip on Solar Heritage from Itchenor. An onboard guide will help you identify the birds on this hour and a half trip.
2. Drive round to the Old House at Home, Chidham for a warming bowl of soup and a sandwich.
	3. Follow the Chidham Circular walk starting at point 4. On the west side of Chidham you should see lots of birds on Nutbourne Marshes.
4. If you are in need of a warm drink and a slice of cake at the end of the day, head east along the A259 and visit the tea shop in Hilliers Garden Centre or if you are going west you will find tea shops at Emsworth.
