| Just one of our testimonials :- "Of course it was a beautiful day, and I was very excited thinking of all the possible sightings of birds and animals I had never seen. I was not disappointed, we saw Otters, Sea Eagles, a Golden Eagle and even a Cuckoo. Richard is the most superb guide and I was so surprised when he said he had been leading these tours for seventeen years. His expertise was very apparent, he knew exactly where to look - a gull eating part of a dogfish, meant, to Richard that there would be an Otter in the vicinity, and there it was, it even caught a fish and sat on a rock facing us whilst eating it. - but the most memorable aspect of the whole day, was Richard's enthusiasm and sheer joy for his subject. There was a freshness about his approach, he made us feel that we were perhaps one of the first groups he had taken on this tour, and that he, also, was caught up in the excitement of discovery. What a day - thank you Richard, I shall never forget the wonder of seeing that Golden Eage soar over the mountain and all the other wonders of nature you so expertly pointed out to us." ~ Gaye Reynolds, West Sussex |
