点评:This has to be one of the best guided birding tours in the UK. Going on a birding cruise on a grey, wet weekend in January, with a stiff breeze chopping up the waves and seemingly endless bouts of drizzle thrown at us in gusts of wind, might seem to be a seriously bad idea... But we were well prepared with warm waterproof clothing and we had a wonderful day! Our two excellent bird-spotting guides, Sam and Mya, knew exactly where to take us around the harbour for the best sightings, not merely spotting the birds from afar, but showing us where to look and identifying them clearly so everyone could benefit, however inexperienced at bird-watching. The team is doing serious conservation work funded in part by these cruises, and we heard about these projects too. We saw some really unusual birds, including 4 species of Grebes, Merganser and Great Northern Divers. The rain and wind didn't spoil it at all. (There was also hot coffee and snacks in the covered deck below, but being out on top was more fun!)
