CSI Strathbeg: Tracks and Signs for kids
Saturday 20 November 11am - 1pm
Find out all about the most elusive wildlife on the reserve by looking for the tracks and signs they leave. Will we find evidence of otters, badger or foxes? It'll be just like CSI Strathbeg as we try to track down who has been using our reserve at night!
The Fraserburgh Wildlife Explorers will be joining us for the day, so bring 50p if you'd like snacks after the meeting (they come highly recommended by the wardens!).

Dusk Walks
23rd October 5pm, 6th November 3pm, 7th November 3pm.
Dusk is always an unpredictable time: will the geese come back before it gets too dark to see them? how big will the starling roost be? what time will the badgers come out? Whatever the answers are, there is always something to see. Join us on a gentle dusk walk, an ideal way for beginners to learn more about the birds and other wildlife of the reserve.
Booking essential
