Find out how the ospreys got on this year with our osprey
diary.
 Loch of the Lowes covers 98 hectares and from
early April to late August the star attraction is a pair of breeding ospreys. Their nest is situated within 150 metres of our observation hide, allowing osprey
family life to be observed through binoculars, telescopes and closed-circuit television
(CCTV).
Red
squirrels and great spotted woodpeckers can be seen from our viewing windows, and
fallow and roe deer are often seen from the hide.
Wildfowl numbers peak in early winter when up to 3,000 migrant greylag geese roost on the loch as well as goldeneyes, mallards, goosanders, wigeons, teals, tufted ducks and great-crested grebes that usually breed near the hide.
Exhibitions with interactive displays and a wildlife gift shop with light snacks are available. Telescopes and binoculars are available in the hides. Toilets and hides have disabled access and disabled parking is available. Our car park can accommodate coaches on request.
