Black Grouse Watch

Leaving shortly before sunrise, we walk to a hide which has been specially built so that we can view the courtship rituals of this rare member of the grouse family. During the Black Grouse Watch we usually see Roe Deer, Curlew, Lapwing and Oystercatcher as well as the Black Grouse. We may also see Mountain Hare, Brown Hare, Raven, Song Thrush, Pied Wagtail, Grey Wagtail or Red Deer as well as several other more common species.

For keen photographers who want to get close up shots of Black Grouse we also offer an overnight session that typically puts you within 20m of one of our larger leks. If you are interested please contact us via the top right hand tab above.
