The Bird Aware Solent team encourages people who visit the coast to look out for birds and give them the space they need to feed, rest and breed. We cover important areas from Hurst Spit in Hampshire, the northern coast of the Isle of Wight, and across to Chichester in West Sussex.
Bird Aware Solent is a partnership of local authorities and conservation groups which helps safeguard the future of internationally protected geese, ducks, wading birds, and other coastal birds.
Our rangers talk to Solent's visitors about its worldwide importance for wildlife thanks to its patchwork of protected habitats.
Visit the Bird Aware Solent stall to find out more about the work we do and about the amazing birds that call the Solent home. Take away a range of freebies from informative leaflets about coastal birds, wildlife friendly paddle boarding and kite surfing guides to wildlife friendly dog walking tips and resources. The younger audience can take away a lovely bird spotting guide along with a bookmark and pencil and a waterproof guide about everything you'll find on the seashore including birds, crabs, plants and seaweeds.
