Wildlife in the Cairngorms National Park
Although perhaps most famous for 'Operation Osprey' which helped re-establish Ospreys in Scotland, this area of Scotland's reputation for natural heritage conservation is almost unrivalled in the UK.
A little patience, a little luck and a lot of peace and quiet will reward even the most inexperienced wildlife watcher with glimpses of the rare, lovely or just downright cute. From otters, badgers, pine martens and Scottish wildcat to vast herds of red deer, all of Britain's grouse species, the protected red squirrel, eagles, falcons, buzzards and, of course, osprey. Bring binoculars, be prepared to wait - the soft air and gentle silence of the Cairngorms National Park makes time slip by unnoticed - and you won't be disappointed.
