Short Birding Breaks

Short weekend type birdwatching breaks are available in West Cork which are quite flexible and suitable for any standard of ability. You may choose any days of the week. Generally we make visits to the birding hotspots but we might choose to target a species which could be found off the beaten track. Searching for rarities or twitching is also an option. We go at your pace and spend as much or as little time in the field as you choose. You may want to be advised by me on locations or choose them yourself. The option to go on a pelagic trip is also available. You have the choice of hotel (B & B) or staying here at Ravens Oak (B & B)

Guest house accommodation is also available on its own for those who wish to ‘do their own thing’
