The Wash 2012 Birdwatching Cruises with RSPB South Lincs Local GroupEach year the RSPB South Lincs local group runs a number of cruises from Boston along the River Witham into the Wash and along the River Welland. The cruises provide everyone with a close up view of the wash and the birds as well as great views of Frampton and Freiston Marsh RSPB reserves.
We were delighted by the level of bookings made on our bird cruises in 2011 – all cruises were sold out by the end of May and so for 2012 two more cruises have been added to our program.
The cruises, on the Boston Belle, depart from the Boston Marina and last approximately 4½ hours. The Boston Belle can accommodate up to 60 passengers but we limit numbers to 50. The boat is well equipped with seating inside and outside and serves hot and cold refreshments.
In 2011, 114 species of bird were sighted including marsh harrier, peregrine, merlin, black and bar tailed godwits, eider, various terns, gannets, kingfisher and many more – in fact 73 species were identified on a single cruise last year!
