To reach the viewpoint, take the Buzzard trail starting opposite the shop for approx 500 meters, and the viewpoint is a short way along the track signposted to Sandy.

Viewings dependent on weather.

Last year we had amazing sightings of the adults catching prey and taking it to feed their young, and ariel battles as they fought off the local buzzards and kestrels!

You can come and see the birds at any time of course, but our volunteers will be in on these dates.
