Lanius Bird Tours is a small company, which although new to this very competitive business, its founders Dave Read & Andy Shooter, have over 40 years of birding experience between them. During which time they have travelled widely becoming familiar with many of the best birding areas in Europe. For many years they have shared this experience, and their love for wildlife by leading walks for local wildlife groups, in addition to organising many trips for friends and family.

Based in Nottinghamshire our aim is to run friendly affordable birdwatching holidays, departing wherever possible from local airports in the Midlands. Our tours are aimed at like-minded people with a general interest in wildlife, all levels from beginners to experts, old or young are catered for, and it’s this mix of members that compliments each other, maximising our enjoyment and knowledge on each trip.  We offer a good range of both short breaks and full tours throughout the UK and Europe, and are already in the process of planning some exciting new tours for 2009. We can also arrange tailor made holidays to your specific requirements for small groups, either to a chosen region or in search of specific target birds.

While primarily concentrating on the birdlife of any chosen destination, time wherever possible will also be given to watching mammals, butterflies, reptiles and anything else of interest we may encounter.  Our tours are all intended not only to offer incredible birdwatching, but also an enjoyable relaxing holiday. All tours will be run at a leisurely pace, hopefully allowing plenty of time to get prolonged good views of target birds. Whilst doing this we may not see every species possible or get the highest trip lists, however we will be ensuring long lasting fond memories of the target birds of a chosen destination.
