Julian shares highlights from another unforgettable Pyrenees adventure, packed with mountain wildlife, soaring raptors and a truly magical Black Woodpecker encounter.

April is a fantastic month for seeing wildlife in Speyside. The weather is warmer and birds and mammals are starting to breed. There has been plenty to see on and hopefully the sightings will keep on coming. One day I collected some guests early in the morning to look for Black Grouse. I had suggested at 6am start as the Black Grouse come out early to lek. When we got to the site there was no sign of them and I began to wonder if somehow we'd gotten there too early.

Craig looks back on a brilliant week in the Outer Hebrides, with passage waders, skydancing Hen Harriers, close encounters with eagles and unforgettable Corncrake sightings.
