Hi, I just have been down to the beach, west whittering and walked around the coast line a bit to a little fishing harbour. There were salt marshes with loads of birdlife. It was great.

The West Highland if you can spare almost a week to complete it. The wildlife and scenery is breathtaking

I used to live in Netley Abbey when the Royal Victoria was still a hospital. I used to go down to the shore to see the QE2 sail past when it was still new and look over the Solent in the evening to the flares of the refinery. There wasn't much wildlife around in those days.

RE: List of Wildlife Walks
I also agree with Xeract regarding Blakeney Harbour in Norfolk. However, walking along to Blakeney Point on the shingle, is not a good idea. Energy sapping and draining, I had to quit after 2 hours trudge and turn back before the end ! My advice is stick to Blakeney harbour and the lovely pubs instead, you'll have a wonderful time.
From a local perspective on the Isle of Man we have a gorgeous walk from Port St Mary to Port Erin. This coastal route leads past a stack of Guillemots, plus regular sightings of Chough and Peregrine Falcons. Offshore you might spot a Basking Shark or Rissos Dolphins. A three hour stroll over a stunning coastline with amazing views and landscapes. Great.

RE: List of Wildlife Walks
One of my favourite places to walk is Thursley Common - it was ravaged by fire a couple of years ago 
It's part heathland with some bog - I only "discovered" it about 8 months ago but now walk there at least once a week - there is always something to see. It is well known for its dragonflies and you can normally guarentee seeing a woodlark, over the past few weeks I've seen hobbys, stone chats, dartford warbler and redstarts, and earlier in the year saw wheatears and a grey shrike - and not to mention the lizards - my DH saw an adder there but I missed it 
There is a marked heathland walk but there's lots of other paths, and there's many walks in the local walk books.

RE: List of Wildlife Walks
One of my favourite walks is around Portland's east side from the Heights Hotel round to the Bill. Wonderful cliffs, great sea watching and ravens and peregrines overhead.
Other favourites are round Rutland Water (not necessarily the reserve although that is great) and Lindisfarne. And when I'm at home Walthamstow Marshes is a good walk, always something to see but best to go there early before all the dog walkers get out!

buttermere
a level and almost flat walk around buttermere (cumbria)
approx 4- 5 miles max, not tiring and not much climbing scrambling needed around 2 and a half to 3 hours
starting and ending at the Fish Inn or Bridge Inn Buttermere village and walking either clockwise or anti clockwise around the lake = sheer bliss

You can't save every animal in the world. But for the one you save, it's the world.
