Tour Packages
While we offer four standard tour packages, specialised tours can be arranged to look for specific species.

This is a four-hour tour offering a spectacular range of sea birds and freshwater species, as well as a good range of woodland and grassland birds. From Velvet Scoter and Norther Lapwing to Little Egret, Stonechat and Reed Bunting.

On this three-hour tour, we will explore several sites in the city centre, looking for typical woodland species including Greenfinch, Song Thrush, Eurasian Kestrel, Peregrine Falcon, and in the Spring, nesting Northern Fulmars!
Suburban Stroll
Just outside the city, we offer a four-hour hillside tour with good chances of Red Grouse, Mistle Thrush, White-throated Dipper and Grey Heron are also common, with Ring Ouzel, Common Cuckoo, and Osprey possible in the summer. Short-eared Owls are frequent in winter.
River Run
On this three-hour tour, we will explore one of several iconic rivers looking for White-throated Dipper, Grey Heron, Great-spotted Woodpecker, Yellowhammer, Grey Wagtail, and other typical woodland species. We’ll also keep eyes peeled for otters.

Testimonials
Our guests have cherished their unique wildlife and birding adventures with us.
Agana is one of the most expert people I’ve met on what he does, I could see his passion, determination and commitment before, during and after each tour, which was a complete experience for us. If you are around Edinburgh I would not doubt a second to get a spot on one of his tours.
