"We recently went on a private Wilder Skies tour and the whole experience was amazing. Nick showed us a variety of different areas and habitats around the Mendips allowing us to see a wide range of wildlife.
Key highlights were a number of adders, grass snakes, orchids and various bird species which we would never have spotted by ourselves.
Nick’s knowledge of conservation and wildlife is second to none and his passion really shines through when delivering the tour in a super friendly and informative way.
I would highly recommend a Wilder Skies tour to anyone visiting Somerset and the local areas - I already can’t wait for my next one!"
"My daughter and I had a fantastic morning exploring the Mendips this morning with Wilder Skies looking for Adders and butterflies.
Nick is a brilliant guide, hugely knowledgeable and passionate about wildlife and safeguarding the environment.
We were so excited to see our first ever Adders and plenty of new butterflies to us as well.

"A fascinating couple of hours led by such a hugely knowledgeable tutor who really knows his stuff. I really would recommend Nick if anyone wants to learn more about any aspects of the nature of our surrounding area."
"Just returned from a fantastic Summer Wildflower and Insects Walk and Talk with Nick and have had the most wonderful few hours with him. I have been on several of his themed walks and each one has been an enlightening experience.
He has an encyclopaedic knowledge of our natural world, from birds and bees, to flowers and trees and everything in between. Today was full of butterflies and day flying moths, a wide variety of wildflowers, wetland habitat and insects including amazing dragonflies and with plenty of bird sightings on top.
Nick explains the interconnectedness of this web of life in the most engaging and passionate way and takes time to answer questions along the way.
For anyone interested in our natural world wanting a very special day out, I can’t recommend Nick highly enough, he is simply brilliant! In addition to his themed walks and talks he puts together bespoke walks for people who might want to see a particular flower/bird/invertebrate etc and will take you to a location most likely to fulfil your wish.
A day with him would make for a fabulous birthday treat for any young naturalists along with friends. My kids would have loved this kind of birthday party back in the day with a picnic and cake to enjoy at the end!
Don’t hesitate to book a trip with him, you won’t regret it and will want more!"
