BEST BIRDTOUR EVER
We had a great time with Megan & Wild Orkney tours. Her knowledge coupled with her eagle eyed vision to spot Orkney's birds on the water, air, fields and woodland was critical to the success of our birdwatching trip! Thanks Megan, we hope to see you in NZ for some of our birds. Lucy & Khan

Seal walk
We had an amazing walk with Megan, she was so knowledgeable and friendly. She knew every bird and pointed them out as we walked. We walked along the cliffs past lots of bays with seals and seal pups which was such a great experience. At the end of the walk Megan had made a pack with info on the area and all the animals we had seen which was so thoughtful. I would definitely recommend booking a walk for your Orkney trip. It was one of the best things we did on our trip! Thanks Megan! Hopefully we will be back one day.

Enthusiastic and knowledgeable
Megan was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the birds and plant life in the Orkneys as well as other wildlife related issues. Although our walk may not have been at the best time of the year for birds, she made a real effort to point out and explain information about all wildlife. If we go back, we will ask her to guide us again.

A fantastic introduction to the flora and fauna of Orkney
My wife, grown-up son and I had a lovely walk with Megan at Mull's head - Megan was great - she gave us fantastic introduction to the flora and fauna of Orkney - she was a great spotter and identifier of birds, animals and plants - she was personable and pitched the content and style perfectly for our group - we can't recommend Megan highly enough! - and we would definitely go out with her again - Andy, Sally and Will

Knowledgeable, experienced and friendly
We had a lovely walk with Megan who really knew about the wildlife we encountered on our evening walk. She took time to ensure that we were comfortable and safe while walking and she had binoculars to loan to those who didn’t have them. Megan has a very warm personable approach and I will certainly do more of her walks when I return to Orkney.

Excellent field trip!
I highly recommend Wild Orkney Walks - a small, locally owned conservation guide who is passionate about the nature of Orkney. My husband and I went on a Hidden Gem Short Walk to Gruf Hill in May. There were 3 others on our walk for a total of 6 including Megan. It was a truly enjoyable field trip! Megan shared her knowledge of the plants, animals, insects and birds - native species and invasive species. The outing deepened our experience of the nature of Orkney and was a highlight of our visit to Scotland. Would highly recommend an outing with Megan if you are in the area. It was exceptionally good value. We had a second outing scheduled with Megan which we had to cancel due to illness. I really appreciated how flexible Megan was. She even offered to reschedule with us - even though she had a busy calendar.

AN EXPERIENCE NOT TO BE MISSED!
My wife and I had two very interesting walks with Megan during our short time on Orkney last week. Both were very well organised with plenty of useful information provided about what to wear, what to bring and easy instructions about where to meet beforehand. Although both walks were nearly three hours long, they were very easy going and capable for most abilities. Also, Megan is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about all the wildlife in Orkney, which added much to the enjoyment of the walks. Therefore, I would have no hesitation in recommending these walks to anyone wanting to learn more about the flora and fauna of these beautiful islands – thank you Megan!

Great Tailored Bird Walk
We were looking for a guided bird walk near Kirkwall that would fit with our cruise ship's port call there, and were very fortunate to find Megan. After correspondence back and forth before we left home, we settled on a plan and a price - very reasonable for several hours' private guiding! A last-minute shift in our start time was graciously accommodated. The morning was most enjoyable. Megan's knowledge of the local birds - and indeed other wildlife- was extensive, and she was able to show us a number of different habitats within easy walking distance of our starting point at the tourist bureau. This meant that we saw a wide variety of birds that we would not have found - or identified - ourselves. I would certainly recommend Wild Orkney Walks to anyone who wants to see and experience the wildlife of the Orkneys.

Evening Ring of Brodgar walk - 7 June 2023
After a fabulous week on Orkney with so many highlights I can honestly say that our evening Ring of Brodgar walk with Megan was one of them. Bird and plant life abounded, the views were wonderful and Megan was a fantastic, expert and friendly, host. I was recommended to go by family members who had been previously and I'm extremely glad I did so. - This is a superb way to see nature in Orkney within a small group.

Great day out in the sunshine
I had an amazing day with Megan. Generous of spirit, great sense of humour, and superior knowledge to share. I had a short visit to the Orkneys, and Megan helped make it special. Thanks again - i've now got new shoes and should have bought them BEFORE I went to Flotta with you!! Take care, Helene
