Forthcoming Tours
Covid-19
Like many of you we are looking forward to a time when we can all start travelling again. While this may be some way off yet, we need to be positive and plan for the future. To that end we are posting all our 2021 tour dates, and where we can, dates for 2022 as well. For tours that we have already cancelled and refunded, many have chosen to transfer to the same tour next year, and we urge anyone booked on a forthcoming tour to consider doing the same if that tour is cancelled, or transferring to another tour. This will help us immensly in planning for a time when we are all free of the virus.

Scotland: Spring on Speyside
25 April - 1 May 2021
The Scottish Highlands are one of the last truly wild places to be found in the United Kingdom. Ideally placed to explore the region, the imposing Grant Arms Hotel is home to The Birdwatching and Wildlife Club which provides its own Club room with a wildlife information centre, a bookshop and a natural history library. It also has a large lecture theatre which hosts evening talks from a range of guest speakers.
From this comfortable hotel, we will venture out each day to a different part of the region seeking out the very special birds and mammals to be found there. Early spring is an ideal time to go birding there as most of the summer visitors will have arrived but there should also be some lingering winter birds as well. With just one base for the week, and with most locations within easy striking distance, this tour will offer a relaxed introduction to the natural wonders of Scotland.
