Here at Idris Heights we take “Twitching” seriously, this is evident by the amount of bird feeders we have located just outside of the chalet, so we decided to create this page for us, as well as our visitors, to post updates of new sightings for all of us to get excited about.

We shall maintain this list periodically so if you see a bird that is not listed on this page please feel free to leave a reply and we shall be sure to add it to the list with your name and date of the sighting. Even better if you mange to snap any pictures please email us we would love to use them!

If you spot your sighting over a period of days please let us know and we shall mark it as a regular sighting, if not it will be marked as a one off.

Other notes will or should be self explanatory so feel free to add any comments or observations you may have.
