Winter Waders Bird Watching – Ernesettle Creek
12th February 2026 @ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm
Explore the wildlife wonders of Ernesettle Creek with the National Marine Park Coastal Ranger Team on a gentle guided walk. This peaceful stretch of water is a haven for birdlife, especially in the winter months when migrating species arrive to feed and roost in its protected wetlands.
As you stroll, keep an eye out for elegant Little Egrets and striking Avocets, both recognised and safeguarded in this special area. The creek’s wide mudflats and saltmarshes are vital feeding grounds for waders and wildfowl, supporting species such as Curlew, Dunlin, Redshank, Greenshank, and a variety of other wetland and woodland birds.
This is an ideal opportunity for nature lovers and bird watchers to experience a rich coastal habitat up close, learn about the species that call it home, and chat with the Ranger Team about the Plymouth Sound National Marine Park and the opportunities it offers for local communities, visitors, and wildlife alike.
Whether you’re a seasoned birder or simply enjoy a walk in beautiful surroundings, this event promises fresh air, fascinating sightings, and a deeper connection to one of Plymouth’s most treasured marine landscapes.
