Your Questions
- Are observers allowed for an extra fee or do they need to have the full voucher?
- Unfortunately spectators aren't allowed as too many people can intimidate the birds. Anyone wishing to go along will need their own voucher and of course they are then welcome to participate fully in the experience if they wish.
