Forest, Lochs & Moors.

Join Highland Nature on a full day tour exploring a wide variety of habitats from the uplands, forests and lochs of the Cairngorms National Park.

Forest, Lochs & Moors.

Spend a day exploring the wonders of the magnificent Caledonian Pine Forest and tranquil lochs within the spectacular Cairngorms National Park. 

The Caledonian Pine Forest, home to Crested Tit, Scottish/Parrot Crossbill as well as many other birds in spring and summer especially. Walk under the towering "granny pines", whilst listening for the distinctive trill of Crestie, or the chip chip overhead of Crossbills. In Spring,every tree seems alive with the song of Willow Warbler, Redstart sing their short melody from the tangle of branches while Tree Pipit perform their parachuting display. We may even catch site of an elusive Goshawk, displaying high over the tree tops.

We can start the day early looking for Black Grouse before venturing in to one of the local forests, depending on where the latest "hot spots" are for the key species. 

Goldeneye, Red-throated Diver and Slavonian Grebe breed inhabit the lochs all in superb breeding plumage. We should see the stunning Black-throated Diver also on a wild and windswept moorland loch nearby where also Red Grouse scurry in the surrounding heather moor and a good chance of Short-eared Owl also drifting across the moorland. Perhaps a Merlin will dash by, chasing the many Meadow Pipts which flit amongst the Heather.

We also visit a wonderful glen famed for it's raptors including Golden & White-tailed Eagles, Peregrine, Merlin, Kestrel, Goshawk and Red Kite regularly seen. Dipper is also a target along the fast flowing salmon river.
