January wildlife break to the Scottish Highlands
The dates are: January 14 to January 18, 2025.
The holiday includes:
* Coach trip to and from Kingussie, with pick-ups in Lincoln, Grimsby, Cleethorpes, Louth, Brigg and Scunthorpe
* Four nights at the Duke of Gordon Hotel, with five-course candlelit evening meals and full Scottish breakfasts
* Live evening entertainment
* Walks in various habitats within a three-mile radius of the hotel, probably plus at least one excursion to a birding destination.
The price: £259 each for the holiday for a couple or two persons sharing a room.
As with the LBC's two previous trips, the holiday is being put on by the Lincolnshire Bird Club’s partners, the long-established Yorkshire-based company Cairngorm Travel (01405 761334) through whom bookings can now be made.
The birding holiday is bespoke and thus not in the company’s brochure, but more details about the Duke of Gordon hotel can be found at the Cairngorm Travel website

The booking number for the holiday is 01405 761334.
The name of holiday is SB25-1/ Scottish Bird Safari January.
Our last two holidays to the Cairngorms have been really friendly, enjoyable events, with a good blend of birders of various levels of experience/ expertise - and some who were not birders at all but just enjoy the tonic of a change of scene, a welcoming hotel, fresh Highland air, magnificent scenery and convivial company.
It would be really good to have some Scunthorpe/ Brigg LWT members on the trip.

The climax of the day was the cutting of the cake
Please note that "Weather Permitting" not only refers to bad weather, it also means, as we have found over the last few years, weather that is too hot. The dipping ponds have at times been too low or even dried out for us to run the dipping safely.
