On Sunday 3rd April – in aid of the people of Ukraine – the staff at Naturetrek kept a list of all the bird, mammal and butterfly species they saw and heard over the course of the day. In total, we recorded 121 species of birds (plus a long-staying Black Swan), which ranged from a diminutive Firecrest to a magnificent White-tailed Eagle. In addition, we found four species of butterfly (it was a cold, albeit sunny, day) and 10 species of mammal.

In this article, we share the highlights from recently departed holidays to Florida, Spain and Dumfries & Galloway.

Our recently returned 'The Reptiles & Amphibians of Ecuador' holiday had wildlife highlights in abundance across all taxa. In this article we share a gallery of stunning images produced by the leaders during the tour.

In this article we share destinations for wildlife holidays that are quieter than the more well-known locations, but still have superb flora, fauna and fantastic scenery.
