Wild & Green Recommends:
Some Top Spots To Wildlife Watch Farne Islands, Northumbria - the Farne Islands lie just a few miles off the Northumbrian coast and offer amazing wildlife watching opportunities for a variety of seabirds - from puffins and terns to razorbills, guillemots and cormorants - thousands of which nest here during the summer months. The Farne Islands are also home to one of Europe's largest Grey Seals colonies. Boat trips to the islands are available all year round.
Kylerhea Otter Haven, Isle of Skye - on the south of the Island of Skye, off Scotland's west coast, you can discover the Kylerhea Otter Haven, overseen by the Forestry Commission. As well as enjoying the amazing Scottish scenery you can visit the viewing hide (open all year round) and look out for otters and common and Atlantic grey seals as well as bottle nosed dolphins. The Otter Haven is also a great place for bird watching and you could spot oystercatchers, herons and even a white tailed sea eagle to name a few.
Moray Firth, Scotland - the Moray Firth, near Inverness in northern Scotland, is well known for being an excellent place to watch dolphins; you don't even need to get on a boat as often the creatures can be seen from the shore.
Lochgilphead, Argyll - Beavers, having recently been reintroduced to Scotland as part of a special Scottish Beavers Trial, can be seen in the Knapdale Forest area of Argyll not far from the town of Lochgilphead.

Bass Rock, East Lothian - located just off the coast of the pretty seaside town of North Berwick not far from Edinburgh, is Bass Rock. Home to thousands of sea birds each year, it's said to be the largest sea bird colony on the east coast of Britain and home to around 10% of the world population of North Atlantic Gannets. Reportedly the largest single rock gannetry in the world, Bass Rock has been described as 'one of the wildlife wonders of the world' by Sir David Attenborough.
