Directions

The Moray Wildlife Club aims to bring together like‑minded people to explore local nature hotspots and learn about Moray’s wildlife.

The long‑term aim is to support and collaborate with local conservation organisations.

𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘆 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗖𝗹𝘂𝗯 𝗨𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲!

Firstly, I’d like to thank everyone who has attended one of the five trial walks. It has been incredible meeting you all, and it’s clear there is real interest in a club like this. Last week marked the final walk of the trial, and it has given me a chance to pause and consider the club’s future.

The walks will continue! But, as the club is still in its early days, I will be reducing walks to once a month. This will give me time to explore additional activities, build connections with local organisations, and carry out proper route planning and pre‑walk safety checks.

Based on feedback from attendees, I’ll be creating a WhatsApp group chat to help organise walks — including dates, times, locations, and any last‑minute changes due to weather. (There will be an additional post once the group is in place)

The next walk is planned for early July, with the exact date to be announced soon.

Thank you all for your interest and support. I’m really looking forward to the future of this club!

Due to weather concerns, I’ll be postponing this week’s walk until next Thursday. The current forecast is looking less than ideal, and I feel it’s safer for everyone to wait until the 11th.

Additionally, on Friday the 10th of July, Moray Council and the North East Scotland Biodiversity Partnership (NESBiP) are hosting a BioBlitz at Elgin Oakwood, with events running from 12:30 PM to 8:30 PM. If you’re free, it’s a fantastic opportunity to explore the woodland and learn from local experts.

𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸𝗹𝘆 𝘂𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲!

Unfortunately there won't be a walk this week as I am away. But I have been working on a website full of useful links and info!
This is currently an early demo/draft but I've been able to include a lot of useful information along with some helpful tools.

If anyone has any ideas of other things to add, I would love to hear your thoughts and ideas!

A quick overview so far includes a map which will include woodland and walks around Moray.
It will include links to local groups and charities involved with animal conservation.
I'd like to include some useful guides about walking, footprint identification and simple rewinding.
A calendar to show local events held by different groups and organisations.
Some wildlife at home project, bird boxes and hedgehog boxes.
Some basic animal first aid and who to call if you find an injured animal.
Then a final page with weather, tides and even a luna cycle report.

I would love to hear peoples thoughts on a website like this, along with any ideas you might have for additional features!

The next walk will hopefully be on the 28th.

𝗤𝘂𝗮𝗿𝗿𝘆𝘄𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗪𝗮𝗹𝗸

A huge thank you to those who joined tonight's walk. We had some amazing weather and thankfully missed the rain! I will be looking at next weeks walk this weekend, keeping the weather in mind.

A quick reminder to check yourself and any pets for ticks tonight. Thankfully there weren't many but its always worth a check.

𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘆 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗖𝗹𝘂𝗯: 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽𝘀!
A huge thank you to everyone who joined last night!
While we didn’t spot much wildlife this time, I believe our first walk was a real success. It was fantastic speaking with you all and hearing your thoughts about what this club could become. I’m genuinely excited to see the direction things take from here.

Over the weekend I’ll be looking at possible routes and locations for next Thursday’s walk, keeping an eye on the weather as the forecast is looking a bit cooler.

In the meantime, if anyone would like to lend a hand with the club’s organisation — helping to lead walks, sharing knowledge of local routes, or supporting in any small way — your involvement would be very welcome.

𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘆 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗖𝗹𝘂𝗯 𝗧𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹!

As of now, the Moray Wildlife Club doesn’t formally exist — I’m simply a wildlife enthusiast who would love to meet like‑minded people interested in supporting local habitats in and around Moray, while also learning about the animals and ecosystems that make this area special.
This six‑week pilot aims to find others who might enjoy walks and social evenings with a focus on local wildlife.

I plan to run five walks in and around the Lossiemouth area on Thursday evenings.
The first walk will be in Lossie Woods, meeting at the car park next to the Lossiemouth Bay Caravan Park at 19:30. (Thursday the 30th)
This first route will be around three miles, taking roughly an hour, with time to stop and watch for wildlife. We should finish back at the car park around 20:30. Later walks may be slightly longer or shorter.

As these walks are weather‑dependent, alternative arrangements will be made if conditions are poor. Thankfully, this coming Thursday is looking promising.

Future walks will be aimed towards Lossie West Beach, Quarry Wood, Roseisle, and Loch Spynie, with routes confirmed closer to each date.

𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗯!

Moray and the surrounding areas are some of the most beautiful and biodiverse places in the UK. With far‑reaching forests, scenic mountains, and a stunning coastline, there’s an endless landscape to explore. I’ve always adored wildlife and the outdoors, and I’d love to meet other like‑minded people who share that enthusiasm.

While the short‑term focus of this club will be walks and social evenings, even a small group can contribute to the work of larger organisations. Saving Scottish Red Squirrels, RSPB, Shark & Skate Scotland, Scottish Badgers, WDC, Bat Conservation Trust, Scottish Invasive Species Initiative, and Trees for Life are just a few of the groups who welcome support from citizen scientists and community volunteers — whether through fieldwork, data collection, or rewilding efforts.

If this sounds like something you’d enjoy, please come along. I’ll be running a series of five walks over six weeks around some of our local nature hotspots in and around Lossiemouth. This will be an initial pilot to gauge interest and find out what topics and activities people would like to see in the future.
