Let's go on Tracking tour - 7 Feb

Are you curious about Swedish nature and want to  learn more about animal tracking? Then this is the perfect opportunity!

Join Biotopia on a tracking tour in Säva! There is a wonderful mixed habitat area featuring open arable and pastoral fields, woodlands, and rough land with rivers and waterways networking through the landscape. Due to this mix of habitats a great variety of species make this area their home. Previously we've found tracks of boar, various deer species, foxes, beavers, martens and lynx! We've also seen several birds of prey and song birds enjoying the seasons. 

We will meet at Säva and follow a gentle route of around 5km through a variety of these habitats, we will look in the snow for tracks and around the landscape for any signs of who has been in the area, and what they were doing. As well as walking around we will take some time scoping or spotting from high points, overlooking some of the open fields we can possibly see deer and foxes moving about.
