Seabirds, Seals & Cetaceans

Join us as the summer rolls in with all of our beautiful visitors for their season of romance. Whales, Puffins, Gannets, Fulmar, Guillemots, Seals and Dolphins are all flocking back to Thurso bay for a summer of love and feasting on the migratory fish that boom by our wee home time. Watch and learn about the world's smallest species of albatross, one of the rarest seal species in the world staring back at you, and some of the biggest adrenaline junkies in the baby bird world with our guillemots. Keep an ear out for the unique sound of harbour porpoise and an eye for the pod of Killer whales visiting Thurso Bay through May and June. Binoculars, natural histories, and ID guides provided!

Meet at the Blue Door Cafe, Thurso at 11am on 3rd July

Online Guided Nature Session

Online Guided Nature Session

As part of the Highland Climate Festival we will be offering a FREE one hour online guided nature connection session. You can take part from anywhere with a WiFi or Mobile Internet connection, preferably somewhere outside in nature (but you can sit by an open window if you want).
We will be engaging with what is around us through all our senses, whilst I offer a sequence of Nature Connection 'Invitations' to create an experience that enhances connection with nature and boosts the therapeutic and restorative effects of nature for health and well-being.
However, these are only ever recommended activities to try and there will never be any pressure to engage in activity that you do not wish to.

To attend please follow the link below to take part via Facebook Live.
