Programmes By Date - Aigas Field Centre

This was an exceptional week of fun, laughter, creativity and wildlife. Tutored by the outstanding Jay Griffiths (wild: an elemental journey; pip,pip etc) with additional teaching and talks from the owner and author John Lister-Kaye (song of the rolling earth, nature child). The wit, patience, knowledge and sheer genius of the tutors made this a fantastic learning experience without feeling a sense of pressure. The wildlife seen was exceptional with pine marten, bottlenose dolphins, red deer, red squirrel, golden eagles, otters, stone chat all seen along with the beavers on the loch which are part of an introduction experiment. They're busy creating habitat patches of fallen birch and adding to the structure of the ecosystem. The group was mixed with couples and singles, male female and a wide mix of ages. Al had one thing in common a desrire to write about the natural world, all succeeded in improving their skills. Brilliant!

For the third year running I have enjoyed a great week at Aigas - this time with a friends group. The staff went out of their way to give us a really enjoyable week. The Pine Martens were rather shy but we had very good sightings of Eagles, other raptors, Red Deer, Seals and Dolphins, Aigas's own Scottish Wildcats as well as a host of birds.

We spent a Wildlife week at Aigas. We could not have wished for a better week. Much of the credit for this goes to the staff. The Rangers who took us out each day were all personable and knowledgeable and added greatly to the experience of seeing and understanding the wildlife and natural environment. Such amazing young talent. The catering and house staff were ever attentive and friendly. Nothing ever seemed too much for them. Accommodation was comfortable and clean. Meals and catering generally was outstanding. Such a good selection of single malts too!
