Evening Wildlife Walks

There are 3 different walks to choose from:

Evening Seabird Walk – A short circular walk taking in the RSPB reserve at Marwick Head, Orkney’s biggest seabird colony. The walk starts at the Choin where we can watch waders and ducks in the bay, before following the path up onto the cliffs. Along the way we will see a variety of seabirds including Fulmars, Gannets, Kittiwakes, Guillemots, Razorbills and maybe even a few Puffins. The walk is approx. 2.5 miles and follows a coastal/clifftop path. “An awesome evening that we'll remember for a long time”

Evening Wildflower Walk – The coastline at Yesnaby is very dramatic and windswept, even on a calm summer’s evening. We will enjoy a short walk along a coastal/clifftop path looking at the variety of wildflowers including the rare Primula scotica (Scottish Primrose). We will watch the waves crashing in, keeping an eye out for cetaceans, and the seabirds returning to the cliffs after a day at sea. If we’re lucky we might even spot a few Puffins. The walk is approx. 2 miles and is a linear walk (there and back same way). “Really enjoyed my evening wildlife walk at Yesnaby”

Evening Wildlife Walk – Enjoy the sights and sounds of summer - listen to the Skylarks singing and Curlews bubbling. This is a short circular walk around the RSPB reserve which surrounds the Ring of Brodgar. This area is important for breeding waders such as Curlews, Redshanks, Oystercatchers, Snipe and Lapwings. We will walk through wildflower meadows and along the shores of Stenness and Harray lochs, looking out for the wildlife that inhabits this area. The walk is approx. 2 miles. “Evening walk at Brodgar - a wonderful experience”

Our Evening Wildlife Walks will run from Monday 5th May to Sunday 17th August inclusive.
