  • CAIRNGORMS NATIONAL PARK / TROSSACHS NATIONAL PARK Wildlife Guide How Many of These Have You Spotted in the Forest?
    CAIRNGORMS NATIONAL PARK / TROSSACHS NATIONAL PARK Wildlife GuidE How many of these have you spotted in the forest? SPECIES CAIRNGORMS NATIONAL PARK Capercaillie The turkey-sized Capercaillie is one of Scotland’s most characteristic birds, with 80% of the UK's species living in Cairngorms National Park. Males are a fantastic sight to behold with slate-grey plumage, a blue sheen over the head, neck and breast, reddish-brown upper wings with a prominent white shoulder flash, a bright red eye ring, and long tail. Best time to see Capercaille: April-May at Cairngorms National Park Pine Marten Pine martens are cat sized members of the weasel family with long bodies (65-70 cm) covered with dark brown fur with a large creamy white throat patch. Pine martens have a distinctive bouncing run when on the ground, moving front feet and rear feet together, and may stop and stand upright on their haunches to get a better view. Best time to see Pine Martens: June-September at Cairngorms National Park Golden Eagle Most of the Cairngorm mountains have just been declared as an area that is of European importance for the golden eagle. If you spend time in the uplands and keep looking up to the skies you may be lucky enough to see this great bird soaring around ridgelines, catching the thermals and looking for prey. Best time to see Golden Eagles: June-September in Aviemore Badger Badgers are still found throughout Scotland often in surprising numbers. Look out for the signs when you are walking in the countryside such as their distinctive paw prints in mud and scuffles where they have snuffled through the grass.

And I was not to be disappointed! Scotland really is a beautiful place, with great people. Both on the isles, with its wild and sometimes desolate vibe and very friendly folks and in the highlands, there seemed to be a stunning view behind every stunning view.

    lea rn abo ut Scotlan d’s common moths Yellow Shell (Roy Leverton) Scotland has only 36 butterflies but around 1500 different moths. They can be found everywhere from sandy shores to the tops of Scotland’s highest mountains. Even a small urban garden can be visited by around 100 species. In fact, wherever there are plants there will be moths. Moths are fascinating and very easy to observe and study. This leaflet will help you identify some of the commonest and show you what you need to start “mothing ”. Moths have the same life-cycle as butterflies with four stages; 1. Egg (ovum) 2. Caterpillar (larva) 3. Pupa (chrysalis) 4. Adult (imago) They also both belong to the same order Lepidoptera derived from the Greek ‘ lepis’ = scale and ‘ pteron’ = wing, and have two pairs of wings. Moth Myths 1. All moths are dull, brown and less colourful than butterflies. This is simply not true. Several moths are very brightly coloured whilst others are cryptically marked and beautifully camouflaged. 2. All moths fly at night. Most species do but many only fly during the day, or fly both by day and night. 3. Only butterflies have clubbed antennae. Almost true, but the day-flying Burnet moths are the main exception to this rule possessing club-like antennae. 4. All moths eat clothe s. In Scotland only three or four of the c1500 species of moths do so and they prefer dirty clothes hidden away in the dark, and don’t like being disturbed or spring-cleaned! Macro or Micro? Moths are artificially divided into two groups; the macros (larger) and micros (smaller).
