Birdwatching and wildlife breaks in the Cairngorms and Speyside

Sunday, April 12, 2009


100% success at the Badger hide so far this year! Last night's watch was the best yet, with one particularly adventurous male Badger determined to systematically hoover up every single one of the peanuts! Everyone held their breath as he sauntered right up to within one feet of the hide, totally oblivious of the delighted throng of guests!

A great all round guided walk in Anagach Wood saw us take in Red Squirrels, a Roe Buck and Doe, three Grey Wagtails and a female Goldeneye on the River Spey - but arguably the highlight was the 10 minute show put on by two Stoats, still partially in ermine, frolicking on the river bank before they tried to cross the old Packhorse Bridge on which we were standing! They crossed halfway over before spotting us, freezing for a moment, and deciding against it. Great Stuff!
Highlights from guest sightings in the past few days have been a cock Capercaillie in Abernethy Forest, Badger at the Speyside Wildlife Hide and 2 Ptarmigan seen from the Viewing Platform at Cairngorm Mountain.
