Autumn Birdwatching at Boconnoc - Early Birds Walk

Boconnoc is a detox for the soul. Tucked down two miles of private drive, as soon as you enter Boconnoc you are transported to another world; a world of tranquillity, peace and breath-taking scenery. Ancient trees inhabit the vast corners of the estate, whilst the gardens burst with extraordinary blooms. Boconnoc House sits in the heart of the estate. This Georgian country house is surrounded by rolling countryside and immaculate lawns, the only sounds you will hear are the birds and the trees swaying gently in the breeze. The house was restored to its former glory following a 12-year restoration project by the Fortescue family.

Boconnoc Estate

<h3>Autumn birdwatching at the Boconnoc estate</h3>As the days are drawing in and the seasons are changing, Mother Nature is showing us the magnificence of autumn in Cornwall. From the stunning sunrises and misty mornings to the calls from migrating birds and animals foraging for the winter months ahead, the grounds at Boconnoc are a hive of activity.As the autumn sun slowly rises in the sky and the birds and wildlife start to wake up, join us for a morning walk around the grounds of Boconnoc, led by birding expert Robbie Philips.Learn all about the birds that are on their way south and have already left our shores for sunnier climes, and also the large number of species that will be arriving to the UK to spend their winter here. “Many of the winter birds will be feeding around the woodland and field edges across the estate and we will wander around and see which birds we can discover; from the larger Redwing, Fieldfare and Woodcock coming from the far North East of Europe to the smallest European birds the Goldcrest and Firecrest, learn who is going where and how they find their way.”During this walk our expert Robbie will help you learn the calls that birds make in winter when most aren’t singing and how to identify the key species by their calls.After the walk there will be an opportunity to chat with Robbie over a warming cup of tea or coffee in our stable yard. This walk will be 1.5 to 2 hours covering approximately 3km on varying terrain along woodland paths.
