Responsible Travel recommends
“For people coming to watch wildlife for the first time in Scotland, they should probably come in April, May and June because that is when birds are displaying and therefore slightly more visible.
But there are lots of different times of year for different species because Scotland is a wintering ground for birds that come down from the Arctic, such as geese, duck, whooper swans and buick swans. And of course, our permanent residents such as eagles and red deer are coming down out of the high mountains in the autumn and winter and are also more visible then too. And if you can catch that in the snow, it is absolutely magical.“
