Welcome to Sussex Wildlife Walks




Latest site update - Wednesday 27th January

Do you enjoy walking and looking at wildlife? If so why not come along on one of the walks that I run throughout the year and learn more about the beautiful Sussex countryside and the plants and animals that are found there. All the walks are at a leisurely pace with plenty of opportunities to stop and look at wildlife.

Despite the harsh weather we've managed four walks so far this month and have been very lucky with the birds we've seen. Those who came on the Rye Bay Bird Safari were treated to some excellent views of bitterns and also great grey shrike, hen harrier and smew but just as memorable was the sight of hungry redwings on the beach at Ferring feeding up after the recent snow and the wonderful spectacle of hundreds of waders packed together on the rising tide at Pilsey Island.
