A Fabulous Day
I had a fabulous day walking both of the ‘short hidden gem’ routes with Megan in early April 2022. Whilst I’m a keen walker, I know nothing about the plants and animals en route with my bird descriptions including “the one with the ninja mask” and “he had rosy cheeks and wee matching collar.” As a total novice, I valued Megan’s patient and non-judgemental approach to explaining Orkney’s wonderful array of wildlife and her flexible attitude allowed the two walks to be done together when the weather was descent. The walks provided a great variety of habitats, birds and flowers and, having Megan as a guide, meant I saw, identified and appreciated significantly more than I would alone. The Hen Harriers with the male pulling out a few of his best dance moves in the sky and the long tailed ducks in their finery were probably my highlights. I would highly recommend – time and money well spent.

A Lovely Walk
Lovely walk with Megan today round Orphir Bay. Looking at it on the map I thought we would be round in an hour – but 3 hours flew by! There was so much to see and hear (and sometimes taste). Megan is a terrific guide: very calm, quiet and constantly alert to the unexpected (like the hares boxing on the hill behind us). She has a deep knowledge of the place, and it was a real pleasure to go out with her.

A Fab Evening Walk!
Megan took us on a fab evening walk up Marwick Head, she is so knowledgable and interesting, taking time to answer our questions while still being observant with all going on around us in the air just in case we missed something. We saw so many seabirds and some peregrine falcons, we definitely weren’t expecting that! Will be back in touch for our next trip to Orkney and will definitely recommend Wild Orkney Walks. Thankyou Megan 💖

A Perfect Afternoon
Lovely walk at Mull Head. Some amazing spots of porpoises, a grey seal, black guillemot, Arctic Skua and many more birds. Megan was a treasure trove of information about the insects and wildflowers of Orkney – there was so much that we would not have noticed by ourselves. It was a perfect afternoon!

A Fabulous Day Out
Nothing could be better than sitting by the loch watching a short eared owl hunting, other than seeing an otter. How you spotted the otter Megan I will never know, but I’m really glad you did!! It was a fabulous day out, thank you.
