Wildlife Holidays At Wildoutdoors, we aim to deliver friendly holidays that will help you explore and understand ecology and wildlife. Our experts will guide you on a journey of discovery with a wealth of wildlife experiences, from wild coastal beaches to high mountain tops. We explore the natural habitats of the Scottish landscape and visit special places, such as Ben Lawers and Tentsmuir National Nature Reserves, and local wildlife sites featuring rare plants and birds. On our guided walks (usually a leisurely stroll), we point out features of interest, aiming to give you a wonderful experience up close in a sensitive way, from botanical excursions to tracking and finding signs of wildlife in the snow. It is often a case of waiting for wildlife to come to you. We have a wealth of research and knowledge of animal behavior and the relationships between vegetation, habitats and species. Adrian Davis is your guide on the majority of these trips and his experience and field knowledge of British willdife is renowned. In addition he is very experienced in dealing with planning and environmental issues as an environmental consultant on a wide variety of development projects such as windfarms and open-cast coal sites. A full list of holiday options is provided in the Ecology/Wildlife section above. Our trips are generally very environmentally friendly, with a focus on easy walking and minimal transport. Tailor-made holidays can be anything from a day's tour to a two-week package, depending on availability. Options Six-day holidays: The wildlife holidays normally take 6 days and guiding is comprehensive throughout. Generally numbers are low and you are likely to be in a small group of 4–8 people, but we still go ahead with smaller groups of two, offering a personal guided tour. Long weekends: Generally off-peak, long weekends and day trips in and around Birnam and Dunkeld exploring the beautiful and varied biodiversity of the region, including National Trust sites such as The Hermitage, Killiecrankie and Ben Lawers. Bespoke (personal trips): Tailor-made trips and itineries, arranged to let you explore what you want to see, usually specific things like otters, black throated divers or ospreys, or a combination – botany, birds and badgers!
Why not join us on a wildlife adventure with a walk around the beautiful Dunkeld and Birnam woodlands and along the River Tay and Bran? Our expert wildlife guide Adrian Davis will introduce you to the fascinating variety of wildlife and plants to be seen in the countryside around the village. Explore the wonderful extremes of landscape and habitats in and around Perthshire. Take part in an adventure to open your eyes, and experience the beautiful herbs and plants of the hay meadows and peat bogs.
