Off to Berwick-upon-Tweed where should I go? (1 Viewer)

Taking the Eriba to Berwick-upon-Tweed tomorrow. Any advice on reserves to visit?

No specifics, just good birding.

Thanks all

Not sure how far you plan to travel. But St Abbs in Scotland is a good place to visit.

AA route planner says 30 min - I’m prepared to go that far - 😊

The Hirsel near Coldstream has some lovely walks and also a lake with a hide.

The Hirsel Estate

This is just a short excerpt for the about page.

A very nice tea room there too.

Had a great trip - many thanks to Jaysan - here are some pics from St Abbs. Also need some IDs - but will post those separately!

Also some amazing sightings of dolphins near Berwick harbour - no good pics!

St Abbs is lovely, isn't it Julie.

I'm so glad you had a great time and thanks for the super pics.... including my favourite Gannet!

Amazing views of gannets - I love to watch them fly across the sea in formation and dive for food

Didn’t get to Hirsel - but will definitely be going again

Oh lovely. Thanks Julie.... I do miss not getting to the coast these days, so it's ages since I've see any.
