Access information for Holme Bird Observatory

For non-members access to the reserve is after 10:00 and we have a suggested donation of £5 per person which includes parking in the NOA car park and this money goes towards supporting the work we do and also maintaining our infrastructure, donations are very much appreciated!

A member of staff or volunteer is at the Observatory 7 days a week, but the Observatory building will not always be manned as we are a very small team and our Wardens may be out recording birds, ringing or have left the site if we were ringing early.

We have drop in times where someone will be in the Observatory on Wednesdays 10-11 and Sundays 11-12.

When visiting if no one is in, if you want to donate you can do so on our website, or get in touch via info@noa.org.uk.
