Summer migratory birds are back!

Bird activity at Eight Bells has gotten even livelier — with the addition of flycatchers and swallows busy building their nests and the distinct songs of the cuckoos calling through the gardens!

Whether if you’re a self-declared twitcher (extreme birder) or a birding novice, the beautiful colours and calls of the birds can be enjoyed by all!

Enjoy our abundant birdlife while out dining in the Tea Garden or stay longer and book a weekend getaway!
