Beschrijving
Loch of the Lowes is a lake near Dunkeld. The loch and the surrounding area are designated as a wildlife reserve, run by the Scottish Wildlife Trust. The area hosts a large variety of birds. In winter Kleine Rietgans, Grauwe Gans, Smient and Wilde Zwaan can be seen on the loch, and in summer, large numbers of Boerenzwaluw, Oeverzwaluw and Gierzwaluw can be seen over the water. Kuifeend, Brilduiker and Fuut can be seen year-round.
In the woodlands, there are Gaai, Taigaboomkruiper, Grote Bonte Specht, Sijs and Sperwer. In the winter Barmsijs and Keep frequent the woods, and in summer Gekraagde Roodstaart and Koekoek can be found. Between late March to late August, there are a pair of breeding Visarend. Their nest is situated within 200 metres of an observation hide, allowing up-close viewing through binoculars and telescopes.
