The Forest of Dean- an evening with Nightjars
Very enjoyable and informative evening learning about the birds of the Forest, culminating in seeing Nightjars and a woodcock. Dan, our Tour Leader, was very knowledgable and generous with his expertise, and made it all the more enjoyable with his sense of humour. Group size and pace of Tour spot on.

Naturetrek provided excellent pre-tour details of what to expect and how to get the most out of the trip, with clear travel directions.





Amazing outdoor Scottish Highland adventure
A Lovely opportunity to enjoy the Scottish highlands, including the Cairngorms and surrounding area, and all that it offers including the Lochs and wildlife at close hand.

good info and ease of booking online with follow-up instructions and helpful hints on what to bring!





A really informative experience
A good and enjoyable day learning new techniques for taking photographs not only of birds in flights but also for other subjects giving consideration to lighting and composition.

Andrew Mason explained things in a very understandable way. He was very easy to listen to and encouraged you to ask questions. I felt that I could ask anything without feeling that it was a stupid question. He gave his time equally to each person in the group and was very attentive and interested in discussing the photographs taken how to shared techniques on how to improve the image which I found extremely useful.





‘Introduction to Seabird Photography (Day Trip)’
This day's photography lead by Andrew Mason was excellent. He was friendly, relaxed and knowledgeable. We had theory sessions sitting outside and then lots of chance to practice what we had learnt, under Andrew's expert guidance. Bempton Cliffs is a great location for photography and we went back the next day for further practice, as we had been so inspired during the course.

Naturetrek are always professional, helpful and have the customer's well-being at the heart of everything.





Excellent day trip expertly guided.
Single day tour to observe the Stone Curlew in Hampshire where there is a project to work with farmers to conserve this rare and vulnerable species. Expertly guided by Keith Betton, who is one of the project leads.,

We have been on many trips with Naturetrek since 2007 - all excellent. We have also appreciated their virtual tours during the recent pandemic.

Never Fails
This was a one day trip to RSPB Minsmere, a place that I am quite familiar with and love I was much looking forward to learning more about its wildlife and was not disappointed in our leader, Brian, who was not only a font of knowledge so ably shared but so patient when one couldn't see what was straight in front and so obvious. It is a real pleasure to be lead by such a leader on an informative, relaxing stroll of newly pointed out wonders...

This is the fourth of Naturetrek's One Day Trips that I have been fortunate enough to attend. For a start what a wonderful idea that these are in these constrained times - a real sanity saver. I have also been on short breaks and holidays abroad and on each occasion have been so pleased with the communication and helpfulness of the office staff and by the qualities of the leaders of the tours. Just all round brilliance.





very pleasant and interesting outing
