pond dipping
Roll up your sleeves and dive in to pond dipping, go on the hunt for elusive mini-beasts and hop aboard a seabird cruise. Learn more about Scotland’s amazing wildlife with hands-on workshops, nature walks and talks, or watch birds in the hand at our ringing demonstrations – you might even be lucky enough to release one!
