Wildlife Diaries

Falls of Clyde

As well as the spectacular waterfalls, our Falls of Clyde Wildlife reserve has mixed woodland lining the Clyde gorge and there are lovely walks which take you through the gorge and past historic structures. This reserve provides homes to a number of species, including the fastest animal on earth - the peregrine. Read this exciting weekly diary to learn about the reserve and the wildlife thriving there.

Loch of the Lowes 

This beautiful and peaceful freshwater loch is fringed with fen, reedbeds and semi-natural woodland. Home to many species including red squirrels and pine martens, this reserve is the breeding and nesting site of a pair of ospreys. The osprey diary and webcam provide an insight into the daily lives of these magnificent birds.

Montrose Basin

The nutrient-rich tide of Montrose Basin attracts over 50,000 migratory birds each year. High powered telescopes and an exciting webcam allows you to see pink-footed geese from Iceland, knots from Siberia and sedge warblers from West Africa. The monthly diary from the Basin will make you marvel at the different types (and numbers!) of birds that are attracted to this enclosed estuary.
