Join Devon Wildlife Trust on a monthly sea watch

Join Devon Wildlife Trust on the first Sunday of each month, to learn about Devon’s marine megafauna and how to develop the skills required to effectively ‘sea watch’!

We will be joined by enthusiastic local volunteers and sea watch expert, Paul Burley, who will show us how to search for cetaceans and sea birds from the land, as well as learning about their behaviour and fascinating lives at sea.

We will collect data as part of Seaquest Southwest, a citizen science project run by Devon and Cornwall Wildlife Trusts.
