This my have been covered in other threads, if so can someone point me in the right direction.
As a fairly inexperience birder with many more lifers to achieve i think i need to broaden my horizons. Im after some tips for planning a birding trip somewhere in the UK, Main choices so far being Scotland, Norfolk or the Scilly isles. I'm not going for mega rarities just yet but more for birds that you dont generally get in central England (although rarities would be a bonus). I know all about reading up on the birds and the areas to get a feel for what to expect from where, but tips would be handy. My main question is how do you plan the actual trip, say if i went to the Scilly isles for example, how do i get there? (Are there travel agents specifically for birders?!) How do i travel around/from island to island? Which season is the best (id like to go in spring but everyone seems to go in the autumn?)
Any help much appreciated |=)|
