Isle of Wight bird photography

[aerobandit]

We're planning to go there first week of may for 3 days. Does anyone know a good place for bird photography over there?
Many thanks.

Newtown marsh has two bird hides. One is open to all, the other is National trust members only.

There is one at Alverstone and a large area of Brading marsh is owned by the RSPB.

This might also give you some ideas of where other photographers have found birds, although a lot of them look captive: http://www.shothotspot.com/hotspots...sle+of+Wight,+United+Kingdom&kw=bird,+birds#3

Thanks. I'll check it when I'm on a PC.

I recommend the Alverstone Hide as well. If you are lucky you might see red squirrels too.

There are lots of Buzzards in the middle of the Island near the Whitecroft/Gatcombe/Carisbrooke Castle area.

Yes, though I am new here and you are the only one I have seen so far that's from the Island.

though not so sunny here today.
