This guided tour to watch them above the beautiful Wold’s village of Nunburnholme is run by a truly informative guide. Michael Flowers is a professional bird watcher and naturalist and is able to share a wealth of expertise with you. You will travel in shared cars, keeping in touch via walkie talkie as Michael points out barn owls, short eared owls, green woodpeckers and other wildlife on the way.
At the site, he will tell you the story of how this colony was formed and show you how these beautiful birds interact. Red kites are unusual birds of prey in the way that they all roost together on winter nights. They are also among the most acrobatic birds of prey and it is a delight to watch their swooping aerial displays before they settle down for the night at their communal roost. Enjoy wildlife artist Robert E Fuller’s stunning paintings of these birds at his gallery in Thixendale before setting off in shared cars to see the birds for real at nearby Nunburnholme.
