|||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Dorset Birding and Wildlife Experience offers a local knowledge and an expertise of Dorset’s birds and wildlife that caters for all levels of experience, providing a range of services to meet your requirements.
Dorset's bird life is amongst the best in the UK. With a list of just over 410 species, the county is well placed in the top ten of the UK's 'league table' of county totals and second only to Norfolk for the highest number of species recorded in a day. In ornithological terms, Dorset's birding hot spots are located around the coast but interesting birds are found throughout the county. Dorset's habitats are varied including lowland heath, woodlands, reed beds, chalk grassland, harbours, rivers and sea cliffs. Some of the sites are very rural, set in stunning landscapes, others are on the edge of, or even in, urban conurbations all attracting an interesting variety of species. Some of the UK's finest dragonfly and butterfly watching is to be had in Purbeck and on the north Dorset chalk grasslands respectively, all six species of the UK's reptiles are found on Dorset's internationally important heathlands, and, in botanical terms, the richest 10km grid square in the UK is found in the Wareham area. |
