DAYs 2&3 - WILD SCOTLAND

June 2/3

Heading north, we shall stop under the Kessock Bridge to scan the Moray and Beauly Firths for Otter and dolphins. Continuing up the coast, we shall visit the RSPB’s Reserve at Nigg Bay for waders, wildfowl and maybe some late Pink-footed Geese. We shall stop at Loch Fleet for breeding Osprey, as well as a reliable site for Greenshank. We’ll continue to stop and scan the bays as we head towards John O’Groats and the most northeasterly point on the UK mainland, Duncansby Head. Our hotel is near Dunnet Bay and we’ll spend the next day exploring the rich wildlife of Caithness. The small Reserve at St John’s Pool is an absolute gem, with an enviable list of rarities as well as breeding terns, waders and wildfowl. Nearby Dunnet Head has spectacular views over the Pentland Firth and the island of Hoy. Gannets and auks fish in the Firth and recently there have been regular sightings of Orcas. The RSPB’s Reserve at Broubster Leans, is on a natural floodplain and is a fantastic habitat for Short-eared Owls and Hen Harriers. We shall visit this Reserve in the evening, to look for hunting raptors as the light fades.
