Britain and Ireland - England/Hampshire
|
Hampshire is home to the The New Forest - a wonderful place to visit and explore at all times of year. A place unique in modern Britain, it is tucked away close to the south coast in a delightful corner of south-west Hampshire.
Recently designated as a National Park, the New Forest is rich in history, has an unrivalled variety of scenery and is home to an abundance of wildlife.
Around 100 bird species are frequent breeders, whilst a further 20 or so, can be seen as regular winter visitors or passage migrants. The roll call is impressive, and includes birds such as the Hen Harrier, Nightjar, Woodlark, Dartford Warbler, Firecrest.
