Largo Bay Otter Ecology Walk

Lutra Grampia

Join Lutra Grampia for a short walk around Ruddon's Point & east Largo Bay, learning about otters, their ecology and other local wildlife.

Elie Holiday Park

As part of Largo Blue Space Festival, Fife-based otter conservation organisation Lutra Grampia will be leading an Otter Ecology Walk around Ruddon's Point and across to the east of Largo Bay on Sunday 7 June.Designed to give you a brief introduction to otters and their ecology, we'll meet at the public car park at the entrance to Elie Holiday Park (what3words ///blotches.jukebox.ripples) at 10.15am for a short briefing, and then head out across to Ruddon's Point at 10.30am. We'll look at the different habitats around the headland and discuss their significance to otters, meanwhile we'll be looking out for field signs such as spraint and runs along the way. We'll curve round to the Cocklemill Burn and saltmarsh, before heading round to the beach to look for otter prints. And all the while, we'll be keeping an eye out for other wildlife and points of interest.As we go, you'll learn more about the local otter population, and we'll discuss otter biology, behaviour and conservation and how it all fits in to what's going on around Largo and the East Neuk, with a focus on coastal and source to sea themes.We'll be walking at a gradual pace and stopping regularly to investigate what we find for around an hour and half, finishing up back at the car park around 12pm, and you'll have the option to head back to the Aurrie Mor afterwards to enjoy more of the activities running throughout the festival.While we will try to stick to level paths as much as possible and adapt the route to match the needs and abilities within the group, we will be walking across some varied coastal terrain, so a fair standard of fitness will be required and the event may not be suitable for young children. Please dress appropriately for the weather on the day, and bring your binoculars and all of your burning otter and wildlife related questions along with you!£2 from every adult ticket sold and £1 per child / student will be donated to Largo Communities Together in support of Friends of Largo Bay.If you'd like further information on this event, please email otters@lutragrampia.org.
