HIGHLIGHTS...
From early morning birding in the village to lazy afternoon strolls along the cliffs or mossy, deep forests, we tap into the lives of migratory and resident birds as well as other island inhabitants. This is not a trip where we'll focus solely on the quantity of bird species, but more a trip about slowing down and tuning into what the more-than-human-world has to offer us each day- like gorgeous gardens, artist studios and more.
