Welcome to the home of Migweek 2020
Migweek is an annual event open to the public, celebrating the amazing world of bird migration! Because of the ongoing pandemic, we're doing things differently this year and running our programme virtually - thanks to Yorkshire Wildlife Trust, who are kindly hosting us (online this time!) so we can continue to celebrate and share the wonders of migration here on the glorious Yorkshire coast. Check back soon for updates, and enjoy - It's all free as always!
- Mark Pearson, Migweek Co-ordinator
Due to COVID-19, there will be no public ringing demonstrations or public events this year.

RSPB Bempton's Migration Trail!
The Autumn Migration trail is a self-guided trail around some of our best migration spots at RSPB Bempton Cliffs. Each of the blackboards has information about some of the top migrants you’re likely to see on the reserve at this time of year, some ID features and a little bit of migration information too. So if you fancy learning about why migration is so amazing, be sure to check out the trail!
