The definitive guide to the birdwatching sites of Devon and Cornwall

Devon, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly are high on any UK birdwatcher’s destination wish-list, renowned for their seabirds, wintering shorebirds, propensity for rare vagrants, and the UK’s only breeding Cirl Buntings. A wealth of habitats, from wide open beaches and towering sea cliffs to Atlantic woodlands and exposed tors, ensures a wide variety of species at any time of year.

Now in its sixth edition, Where to Watch Birds in Devon and Cornwall remains the trusted site guide for birdwatching in the region. Featuring more than 80 sites, it includes information on habitats, access, when to visit, and key species to see at each site during different seasons. It also provides a species list, notes on the best sites accessible by public transport, best sites for those with mobility issues, and a section on the region's top birds and where to see them.

Where to Watch Birds in Devon and Cornwall is a must-take companion for any birder living in or heading to the southwest.
