Nova Scotia

Our wildlife and bird watching holiday to Nova Scotia takes you to the delightful Brier Island for a relaxed pace, single-centre holiday overlooking the Bay of Fundy. Combining birdwatching with whalewatching, we shall enjoy fabulous boat trips for close up views of Humpback Whales (most likely), Fin Whales (possible) and Northern Right Whale (rare). Large groups of seabirds include Great Shearwater, Red Phalaropes and Wilson’s Storm Petrel; and we’ll enjoy the excitement of land migration too with American warblers, flycatchers and waders on easy relaxed walks.
