The Moray Firth

Join Highland Nature on a full day tour exploring the sweeping coastline of the Moray Firth.

The Moray Firth

One of the most beautiful and unspoilt coastlines in Britain, the Moray Firth, with it's sweeping beaches, tidal mud flats, many harbours and bays a birders delight . In early spring, Sea-duck should still be in good numbers. Long-tailed Duck, Velvet Scoter, Common Scoter all raft in the bays, joined by those divers and Slavonian Grebes still yet to settle on breeding grounds further north. A great place also to see wader migration in spring and autumn, Knot, Godwits, Dunlin, Sanderling, Purple Sandpiper to name a few all pass through as well as winter along the coast. In summer Ospreys fish along the river mouths, amongst screaming Common, Arctic and Sandwich Terns. A great place for rarity hunting as migration gets underway it has an impressive list of vagrant finds.....some such as the King Eider a fairly regular occurrence. Iceland and Glaucous Gull are regular and there are numerous sites to spend time looking at waders. I have been birding along this coast for many years, and each carefully selected spot reveals a slightly different range of birds....carefully planned to get the most from your day. There is also a chance to see the local population of Bottle-nosed Dolphins, and even Minke or Humpack Whales at certain time of the year as well as Basking Sharks if we're lucky.

There are ample facilities along the coast to take a break if you wish with some excellent local seafood pubs well worth a try.
