A guided morning bird song tour along the Bluebell Railway.
Join our guided service for a relaxed and fascinating birdwatching journey through the Sussex countryside, as the seasons bring the landscape — and its wildlife — to life.
Running in April and September, these special guided trains are perfectly timed to enjoy both spring birdsong and autumn movement.
As the train winds through woodland, fields and cuttings, look out for familiar favourites such as Robins, Blackbirds, Blue Tits, Great Tits, Long-tailed Tits, Goldfinches, Dunnocks, House Sparrows, and lively Wagtails. In the trees, you may spot Great Spotted and Green Woodpeckers, while Song Thrushes and Blackcaps add their voices to the soundtrack of the line.
Keep an eye on the skies for soaring Buzzards, elegant Red Kites, and hovering Kestrels, and with a little luck you might glimpse the dazzling blue flash of a Kingfisher near water. Swallows are a delight in spring, while autumn brings changing behaviour and seasonal movement across the countryside.
With knowledgeable guides on hand to help you spot, identify, and learn about the birds along the route, these journeys are ideal for both beginners and experienced birdwatchers alike. Sit back, enjoy the scenery, and discover just how much wildlife can be seen from the rails.
Book your seat today on our 7:30am return service from Sheffield Park and enjoy a Stepney Breakfast in our Bessemer Arms on your return.
Stepney Breakfast consists of bacon, sausage, scrambled egg, choice of hash brown or fried bread, mushrooms, beans, tomato and a hot drink or glass of orange juice.
