I am planning a coastal trip for a two-week holiday this year, exploring the UK from Lindisfarne to Cornwall, taking in Yorkshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, Kent and other points in between.
My question is this - when should I go?
My local patch is Warwickshire, so in my 18-months or so birding, my coastal list is pathetically thin. It's not rarities I'm after, just a good number of typical UK shore and sea birds.
The holiday can be any time between May and September, and any advice on a really good time would be welcome.
Any tips on top spots would also be welcome - I guess I'm thinking of Holy Island, Bempton, Cley, Minsmere and Dungeoness at the moment.
