Seabirds galore, Puffins galore, spectacular scenery, phalaropes, eagles, Hen Harriers, Short-eared Owls, Manx Shearwaters, exclusive boat charters, great accommodation and food. We all fell in love with this holiday.

From rare Turtle Doves and Red-necked Phalaropes to point-blank Puffins, Roseate Terns and Atlantic Grey Seals, this year's Farne Islands tour delivered memorable wildlife at every turn. Boat trips to the Farnes, Coquet and Holy Island, alongside visits to Kielder Forest and Druridge Bay, produced a fantastic mix of birds, stunning landscapes and unforgettable experiences.

Highlights from our ‘Yorkshire in Summer’ holiday have been Bempton Cliffs, visits to varied habitats, gorgeous scenery and witnessing a spectacular evening performance from local Nightjars. We’ve thrilled at fly-pasts from Bittern, Goshawk, Spoonbill and Gannets, drifts of glorious wildflowers, 21 species of butterflies and dazzling Dragonflies and Damselflies.

From magical evenings on Mousa surrounded by swirling Storm Petrels to close encounters with Puffins, Otters and Red-necked Phalaropes, this year's Shetland tour was packed with unforgettable wildlife experiences. Add spectacular seabird cliffs, Arctic Skuas, Bonxies and thousands of Gannets, and it was another memorable week exploring one of Britain's most wildlife-rich island archipelagos.

Sally looks back on a trip where dramatic coastlines, seabird colonies, eagles, divers and rare Scottish Primroses combine with breathtaking scenery. A relaxed, small-group holiday with an unforgettable Highland wildlife experience.

Craig looks back on a brilliant week in the Outer Hebrides, with passage waders, skydancing Hen Harriers, close encounters with eagles and unforgettable Corncrake sightings.

Jane reflects on a beautiful spring week in Speyside, filled with Black Grouse, coastal wildlife encounters, peaceful lochs and some very unexpected Water Voles.

Julian reflects on our first North East Scotland holiday based in one location, led by local guide Andy Carroll. From White-billed Divers and seabird cliffs at Troup Head to Spoonbills at Loch of Strathbeg and close-up Goshawk views from the garden, it was a week packed with standout wildlife moments in a rich and varied area.

Our Norfolk holiday in February 2027 is now open, offering a brilliant start to the birding year. Expect vast flocks of geese, waders and wildfowl across famous reserves like Titchwell and Cley, with chances of scarce species too. With expert guiding, great food and a friendly base, it’s a week packed with variety and spectacle.

Cornwall is the most south westerly part of the British mainland, characterised by farmland, sea cliffs, estuaries and an immense area of moorland called Bodmin Moor. A feature of Cornwall in the time that we visit, in the autumn, is a mass migration of waders and seabirds. There is an opportunity to see rarities that are rare or impossible to see in most other places.

The Isles of Scilly are a group of islands 28 miles off the south west coast of England, marking the south westerly part of Britain. They are one of the most renowned places in Britain to see migrant and vagrant species of birds from Europe, North America and Siberia. The best time of year to visit is Autumn, which is the time of our annual Speyside Wildlife visit!

We are spoiled for choice with amazing wildlife here in the Scottish Highlands. From Golden Eagles soaring high above open hills to Red Squirrels scurrying through the canopy of pine woodlands, there is bountiful choice when it comes to wildlife encounters. However, one species that is often overlooked when visiting this area is the European Otter. These elusive members of the weasel family (mustelids) are always a joy to see on our guided days out and often provide a ‘magic

With the recent spell of sunshine we had in the Cairngorms, I took to my local woodland and riverside walk to listen and look for spring birds. Chiffchaffs, Willow Warblers and Osprey’s are among the early summer migrants I look and listen for at the start of spring. I keep hearing of recent sightings of Ospreys in the area, and every time I see a large bird overhead, I quickly grab my binoculars. No such luck yet, but the anticipation makes it that much more exciting! I’m re
