Scottish Seabird Centre Identifying Coastal Birds in the Colder Months

Join the Scottish Seabird Centre for an indoor classroom session focused on identifying the coastal birds that can be spotted on Scotland’s shores during the colder months. Led by Conservation Officers, the session looks at species likely to be seen locally around North Berwick and is suitable for anyone who wants to build confidence with bird identification, whether they are completely new to the area or already enjoy birdwatching.

Participants are encouraged to ask questions, share their own sightings and experiences, or simply relax and learn something new in a friendly setting. If conditions allow, the session may finish with a short outdoor wander to look for birds along the shore, adding a practical element to the talk.

The session takes place in the Learning Hub at the Scottish Seabird Centre and is designed to be accessible, with wheelchair access in the classroom. The outdoor portion is weather-dependent and may involve uneven ground, slopes and slippery surfaces, so participants should wear suitable footwear and dress for the weather.
