Saturday 11^th May 2024, 1.30pm
The birds of Derbyhaven and Langness
Leader - Tim Earl
The Langness peninsular together with the beaches and inter-tidal areas of Derbyhaven and Sandwick bays together form one of the most important Manx locations for wading birds and wildfowl. The peninsular is designated as an Area of Special Scientific Interest and much of the area has been designated as a bird sanctuary since 1936. Join us for a walk as we explore the foreshores either side of the isthmus in the company of Tim Earl, a renowned local bird specialist.  We will be present at high tide and Tim will reveal some of the ornithological highlights of this special location. Suitable footwear is advised for a level walk over moderate terrain. Binoculars would be useful if you have them.
Meet at the Lime Kilns, Fort Island Road, Derbyhaven, SC285673
