A day trip, organised for members of Gazen Salts Nature Reserve and Sandwich Bay Observatory, to Marquenterre Nature Reserve. This fabulous bird reserve is about 65 miles south of Calais and our trip is timed to see the best of Spring migration and breeding birds, including the possibility of Bluethroat, Golden Oriole, Night Heron, Savi’s Warbler, Crested Tits, Black-winged Stilts, etc.
The price £120 includes coach transport from and back to SBBOT carpark (depart 5.00 a.m., return about 8.30 p.m.), Eurotunnel crossing and Reserve entrance; this is the same price as for our last trip in 2024.
Full details of the trip can be found on posters at the notice board at Sandwich Bay Bird Observatory – you are advised to book your place via the SBBOT website as soon as possible to secure your place. Upon reserving your place by paying the “ticket price” of £120 a full information form will be sent to you.
