Wildlife Spotting – Red Deer, Reindeer, Black Grouse, Snow Bunting, Ptarmigan, Mountain Hares & more!

posted in: Featured, Multiday Treks, Speciality, Speciality Treks | 0

The unique environments found in the Cairngorms offer wonderful opportunities to spot some of natures greatest wildlife scenes. Why not let us organise a bespoke  Single Day Guided Mountain Walk, or longer Multiday Trek with an overnight wild camp, so you can get to the heart of nature and all it offers. Red Deer can be found in isolated glens throughout the Cairngorms; the UKs only wild reindeer herd survives high in the central Cairngorm area; Snow Buntings, Ptarmigan and Mountain Hares abound above the 750 metre contour; Black Grouse continue their captivating dancing at their lekking sites throughout the summer; and numerous raptors, including golden eagles, are present around many of the high isolated crags. This is also a great time for seeing the ever changing  landscape as the winter snows vanish and the mountains and forests come back to life, to the burst of heather colour at the end of the summer and the sight and sound of rutting deer. If you are interested in photography we can also include free tuition/advice from our professional photography team members: Jess Greaves is a wildlife and environmental photographer and Myrddin Irwin is a published landscape and biographical photographer.
