March has been an amazing month to see wildlife and there are so many highlights to choose from. One day in March I led a day guide that started in Carrbridge and I took my guests to look for Black Grouse. We had initially said we would start at 8am, but after an initial visit to one of the lek sites and not finding anything, I began to have my doubts and suggested a 7am start just to be sure. I hoped that it wouldn’t be too early in the season.

Our spring trip to Öland in May 2027 offers relaxed birding in a beautiful limestone landscape. Expect flycatchers, harriers and migrating waders, alongside stunning wildflowers and orchids across the Alvar. With a welcoming base and everything close by, it’s a varied and rewarding week at a lovely time of year.

This past spring has been full of lovely moments during our Guided Day’s Out. We have had gorgeous warm weather with lots of sunshine, providing a warm welcome to our spring migrants. There has been many magical moments and many great wildlife sightings. Here is just a few of our highlights from this past spring.
