Birdwatching holidays

Whether you're an experienced birder or a hobby twitcher, these birdwatching holidays let you indulge your passion with the added freedom of self-catering. Travel with like-minded friends for some serious spotting, or combine it with other activities in the area that the whole family will enjoy.

Searching for cottages in England could lead you to Rutland, home to the birdwatching haven of Rutland Water. Or try gites in France and spot wood sandpipers, stone curlews, honey buzzards, marsh harriers and more. Maybe head to Spain for eagles of all shapes and sizes.
