Target species include Red Squirrel, Badger, Otter, and Pine Marten, along with birds such as Sparrowhawk and Kingfisher.

Grading
Grade A – Easy to moderate day walks. The majority of walks on this tour will be easy walks to reach the hides, but please note there will be long periods of up to several hours in hides at a time.
The tour is therefore suitable for all ages and people who are comfortable carrying their camera equipment for short distances, though it will involve early starts each day and late finishes. It is not suitable for those not prepared to watch patiently and quietly, often for long periods of time! It is advisable to bring a Kindle or book to help pass the time. Dependent on the network there is not internet connectivity in all of the hides. The Sparrowhawk hide has basic toilet facilities available; however, the other hides do not.
