Summary
As the landscape changes colour it’s a great time to be in Scotland. This 7-day tour will visit the ancient woods of Caledon and a variety of other forests in search of Crossbills, Crested Tit and Red Squirrel. On the lochs are Greylag and Pink-footed Geese, Goldeneye and Goosander. Nearby marshes are inhabited by winter migrants such as Whooper Swan, Wigeon, Teal and possibly Hen Harrier. Moorlands and hillsides hold Red Grouse, Mountain Hare, Red Deer and Golden Eagles, while an evening visit to a hide will give us the opportunity to watch for Pine Marten and Badger.
- Mammals include Red Squirrel, Mountain Hare, Pine Marten and Red Deer.
- Woodland birds including Siskin, Crossbill and Crested Tit possible.
- Stunning scenery of the Cairngorm Mountains, Speyside and Caledonian pine forests.
- Raptors including Golden Eagle and Hen Harrier.

- Led by expert naturalist guide.
