Welcome to our showcase of day trips and short breaks that we design for some of the places where fantastic wildlife can be seen in Britain. Greenwings was founded in the United Kingdom and we love to promote the natural treasures that can be found on these shores.
All day trips and tours are led by one of our enthusiastic and knowledgeable guides, such as writer and naturalist Patrick Barkham, photographer & film maker Jack Perks, Photographer/artist/polymath Victoria Hillman, author & orchid addicts Sean Cole & Mike Waller, and other superb all-round naturalists like Terry Goble and Kat Dahl.
We can also provide you with bespoke day trips or longer tours, more or less anywhere in the UK. This might be to see or photograph one or more specific species, which we’d be happy to arrange.
Please get in touch to discuss your requirements and we’ll do our very best to help.
