Aigas Wildlife Discovery
This programme in the first week of our season acts as a training week for our new trainee rangers. Guests will be accompanied by a senior ranger and a trainee who will use this opportunity to take the lead and practice what they have learned in our eight week Aigas Ranger Training Scheme and build confidence interacting with guests.
Aigas Wildlife Discovery Week follows the itinerary of our internationally acclaimed Aigas Wildlife weeks and will include the following…
Guests will spend six full days (7 nights) exploring the stunning hills, glens, forests, coasts and marshes of the Highlands producing breathtaking encounters with eagles, pine martens, otters, black throated divers, deer, crossbills, badgers and much more.
- Evening pine marten and badger watches in our own hides.
- Caledonian pine forest – black grouse, crossbills and crested tits.
