Mundesley seafront

Mundesley · NR11 8BG

Mundesley is an accessible east coast seawatching stop with town parking close to the front. The club identifies seawatching and visible migration as its main birding strengths. Its records include Great Skua and Arctic Skua in the second half of the year, Kittiwake over a longer season, and wintering Brent Goose. Choose the public seafront for a watch across the open sea, with enough time for passing birds to appear. The setting also works as a short addition to a coastal day when a larger reserve is beyond the available time.

Birds and seasons

  • Great Skua — Typically July–February
  • Arctic Skua — Typically July–October
  • Kittiwake — Typically April–January
  • Brent Goose — Typically September–February
