About this tour

Use two days to explore a wider cross-section of North-East Scotland with Aberdeenshire Bird Tours.

A documented weekend with visiting birders from Texas visited several habitat types across the region. Your own itinerary is designed around the season, preferred pace and target species, potentially combining coastal cliffs and estuaries with wetlands, farmland, woodland or upland country.

The exact route, overnight arrangements, transport, meals and current price are confirmed after inquiry. Longer multi-day variants are also possible on request.
