Summary

Summary

This tour will allow us to explore the coast of north-east Scotland around Aberdeen, visiting some of the best coastal birdwatching sites to be found there, as well as going inland to the woodland and moorland areas for resident species. During the tour we will be looking for arriving birds that will winter in Scotland, as well as being likely to see a variety of passerines that regularly stop off during their southerly migration, and maybe a few surprises too! 

  • Autumn migrants along the coast.
  • Visit the key wetland and coastal birdwatching sites in NE Scotland.
  • Loch of Strathbeg where thousands of geese are starting to gather.
  • Returning flocks of waders and other water birds.
  • Stunning scenery of coastal Aberdeenshire.
  • Haul outs of Grey and Common Seal.
  • Search for woodland and moorland birds inland.
  • Led by expert naturalist guides.

Grading

Grade A/B. Mainly easy day walks, but with some more strenuous walking on rougher terrain on certain days.
