Excellent knowledge of a local patch
You just can’t beat excellent knowledge of a local patch when wildlife watching, which is exactly what you get from Megan. Especially when the wildlife of Orkney is so different to what you’re used to back home (which is way down south in Norfolk for us!). We did the Mull Head walk with Megan in early May, which despite being windy, treated us to some great sights of sea birds and summer migrants, my highlights definitely being the arctic and great skuas, which we couldn’t have hoped to have spotted without Megan’s help! Puffins were another highligh, and seeing the bright red maws of tysties, which again Megan was brilliant at spotting those that were calling, so we could see inside their bills! Megan also shared with us some of the key ecological challenges on Orkney and generally gave us a much better sense of what was happening in the landscape. We couldn’t recommend her enough!

Interesting Walk
We really enjoyed our walk with Megan and learned a lot about the grey seals, their pups as well as about the birds along the coastline. Thank you very much for this interesting walk.

A must for any lover of nature
Wonderful day walking in Flotta with Megan – even in less-than-ideal weather there’s always something to see, and Megan knows exactly what to look out for. Megan’s enthusiasm and knowledge are fabulous and we had a great time walking and spotting wildlife, birds and plants with her. A must for any lover of nature visiting Orkney.

Excellent and tailored guidance
We did the Burwick coastal walk in glorious blue sky sunshine with very light breeze (definitely special weather). We are keen but novice birders but Megan provided so much knowledge and also imparted the differences between often mistaken identification of several sea birds. The additional knowledge on plants really made for a most enjoyable and educational experience. Thank you for your excellent and tailored guidance. (Still need to spot the short eared owls but we’re hopeful).

A Lovely Walk up Gruf Hill
Had a lovely walk with Megan up Gruf Hill in Orphir today. As an Orkney local, this was somewhere I hadn’t been before, so having a guided walk was a great way to explore and get my bearings in the area. Megan’s knowledge of the plants and wildflowers was excellent and she has a relaxed, friendly manner sure to put anyone at ease. A very enjoyable morning.
