An exploration of Papay's lower 'plants' - fungi, lichens, mosses & liverworts - from waxcaps and Sea Ivory to the Sphagnum of Orkney's largest maritime heath.

The open landscape of Papa Westray provides an autumn treasure trove for the migrant 'hunter'. This holiday is designed to give guests the best chance of seeing an eclectic mix of species, while learning the secrets of finding birds on passage.

Few places can compete with Papay in offering such a varied and distinctive birdwatching experience in such a characterful and compact area. This is the perfect holiday for birders wanting to immerse themselves in the birds of the far north, at the most ornithologically-exciting time of the year.
