Even though it feels and looks like a winters day the appearance of this young Stonechat tells me it is in fact still summer 😀🥹😎 Our tours pages have now been updated up to May 2027, interested? Then just check out our webpages at birdingecosse.co.uk Wild Scotland Grant Arms Hotel VisitScotland

"Just back from a fantastic week away at Grantown with the legends Mark Pearson and Simon Pawsey.

We were taken to the most amazing places - in magical woodland settings we watched Crested Tit and Pied Flycatchers, Ospreys doing what Ospreys do on their nests, a ‘rollercoaster ride’ with the Black-throated Diver and an errant sheep on a magnificent loch, not to mention an amazing walk to the top of Cairngorm which also revealed to us its treasures.

We watched nature at its best with patience and calm - this is not a ‘bird ticking’ exercise by any means, it’s all about being immersed in nature in all its glory.

The guys are so informative without being ‘teacherish’. Even though I hadn’t already done Module 1, it didn’t matter, everyone was so welcoming and a happy week was had by all.

Thank you School of Birding, I had a blast!"

"What a fabulous week. Simon and Mark are truly inspirational. Their knowledge, guidance and spotting ability are exceptional as is their patience and understanding of all. All levels of birding are welcomed. I recommend joining them in the Highlands 110%!"
