Photo Blog: March 2025

March has been a great month for us here at the Centre. We’ve become so used to working in the new Centre it’s hard to imagine life working from Reindeer House! March is always a relatively quiet month for visitors so it’s meant an excellent ratio of reindeer to people on our daily Hill Trips. Things will start getting busier in April with the school holidays, and reindeer will be back in our Paddocks from Saturday 29th of March. The Paddocks will be a work in progress for some time as we continue to landscape, but at least the reindeer will be back on display for folks to see! Have a read here for up to date info about what’s on offer in the Paddocks: https://www.cairngormreindeer.co.uk/paddocks/.

Here’s lots of lovely photos of some of our gorgeous reindeer taken throughout the month!

3rd of March: Chai is such a cutie, and she knows it!
3rd of March: Two girls with big antlers! Mangetout (born 2020) has the biggest set of antlers compared to the females in her year group and Pukka (born 2024) has the biggest out of hers, including the boys!
4th of March: Fiona, Lotti and I walked three cows and their calves up the hill to join the free ranging herd we have here on Cairngorm. Previously they’d been free ranging at our second winter site. Feta and Earl Grey, Beanie and Coffee, and Christie and Espresso.
5th of March: We’re so proud of these two! Alba at the front and Winnie behind. Both hand-reared in 2023 and now proper free-roaming reindeer! Go girls.
12th of February: Snow! And Cuppa’s awesome eyebrows.
12th of March: The top of Ryvita’s head. She’s usually the first cow to start growing her antlers.
13th of March: Winter has returned. Sundae looking particularly beautiful!
13th of March: Zambezi and the herd on their way in for breakfast.
13th of March: Winnie and Cameron.
14th of March: Torch making sure Cappuccino is looking good for our visitors.
17th of March: Shannon on St. Patrick’s Day. Shannon was named by herder Amy after the river in Ireland.
17th of March: Ryvita up to her usual tricks! She’s an old girl so I may have allowed this for longer than I would have if it was somebody younger!
18th of March: Trilby leading the herd on a beautiful day.
19th of March: Another old girl enjoying our backpacks – this is Oatcake.
21st of March: Amy and I went over to our second site to help Tilly which was very fun! We got to see all the male reindeer including this greedy chap – Aztec!
21st of March: Spartan looking very handsome and enjoying free ranging. He’s just beginning to grow a new set of antlers.
22nd of March: Peanut is a beautiful reindeer. She’ll turn 5 in the spring and is relatively shy in nature but very sweet!
22nd of March: Zambezi wondering if I’ve got any food!
23rd of March: Sunflower and Fika being very sweet!
25th of March: Christie cast her anlters a couple of weeks ago but still looks gorgeous. Her new antlers will begin to grow before too long.
27th of March: 10 month old Coffee leading the herd this morning. He’s a very confident chap!
