Our Specialist Recommends

"I recommend our short break in the Somerset Levels. The winter starling roosts and mumurations are spectacular, being the largest in the UK and often containing around 1 million birds! In the spring the reed beds teem with life and an incredible 7 species of heron now breed here. For a longer break our 'Scotland's Mammals & Highlights of the Highlands' holiday offers many special species including Pine Marten, Otter and Golden Eagle, together with breath-taking scenery throughout."
