Planning a seaside holiday this summer? Don't just sit on the beach—look up! Britain's coastline is full of extraordinary birds, and you don't need years of experience to spot them. Start with the familiar gulls, then discover the elegant Kittiwakes, the frantically-pacing Sanderlings running from the waves, the bold Oystercatchers with their striking orange bills, and the tiny Turnstones flipping stones for food. Venture to the cliffs and discover seabirds that spend most of their lives at sea: Razorbills, Guillemots, Cormorants, Shags, and the remarkable Fulmar. Watch hovering terns dive for fish with precision, and realize that some of the birds you're seeing have travelled from the Arctic or Africa. A beginner's guide to the birds you'll actually encounter on a British beach this summer. Come with me through this episode of @birdznerdz coastal birds and see what we can learn together. #britishbirds #birdznerdz #beach #coastalbirds #beginnersguide #SummerBirds #britishwildlife #birdwatchinguk #Sanderling #Oystercatcher #Turnstone #Kittiwake #seabirds #terns #Fulmars #Razorbill #Guillemot #cormorant #shag #SeasideHoliday #naturelovers #birdidentification #coastalwildlife #familyfriendly #SummerInBritain #LookOutLookUp #birdpodcast #birds #bird #birdwatching #nature
