World Frog Day!
Many things are causing frog populations around the world to decline but you and a trusty spade can help – dig a pond 🐸
If you don’t have space for a wee pond, look out for frogspawn and rescue eggs and tadpoles that are drying out by moving them to the closest bit of standing water. This might be a ditch, pond or bog pool.
This beauty is one of many at our pond in Ballindalloch.
Have a croaking good time!

Spring is just around the corner when The Haugh Farm are scanning their pregnant ewes. Yipee!
A shiny gold star to anyone who can guess how many sheep are in the flock. Good luck!

Look who came to say hello!
Since we switched on the heating, we’ve made a new friend at Wild Alba Tours HQ. We found this Angle Shades moth sat on the office blinds!
Widespread across the UK, Angle Shades resemble a dried-up leaf, complete with crinkled wing edges and muted colours. Its caterpillar foodplant includes bramble, nettles, ivy, and tree leaves such as silver birch, hazel and English oak.
Unfortunately, our office isn’t one of the exclusive tours we offer🙃
Don't worry, you won't wish you were in our nature-friendly admin space when you know how much wildlife you could see on our #guidedtours!
Our guides cannot wait to bring you closer to nature - make a booking enquiry with us www.wildalbatours.com today!

It’s lambing time at The Haugh Farm!
Ian and his son Sam travelled from London to experience what life is like on a family farm in Scotland.
From the moment we arrived, we could hear the sweet sound of young sheep in the fields and the lambing shed.
As we approached the lambing shed, we were warmly welcomed by the farm’s friendly lambing team, Graeme and Laura, who shared their knowledge and passion for sheep farming in the Highlands.
After watching Graeme’s happy collie dog, Lexie, herd some straying Black-faced sheep into the main field, Laura taught us about the different adaptations of native breeds, why Shetland sheep vary in colour and why farmers like the Texel breed (especially Graeme!).
Feeding pet lambs was next. Mother sheep (ewes) have two teets, the perfect number to feed two newborn lambs. But some ewes give birth to triplets. When this happens, Laura and Graeme help a different ewe with one baby adopt a triplet lamb. If this strategy doesn’t work, they bottle feed the orphans until they are big enough to eat in the fields with the rest of the flock.
With the professional assistance of Laura, both Ian and Sam bottle-fed the farm’s pet lambs. They even got to name an adorable spotty Black-faced baby. They chose the name, Linda. Happy days!
We hope you had a wonderful experience on The Haugh Farm, Ian and Sam, and lots of lovely stories to share with your friends and family in London.
Visit our website www.wildalbatours.com to book your lambing tour with Graeme and Laura at The Haugh Farm today!
