Description
Loch Gruinart is one of the best places in Scotland to see Crave à bec rouge (northernmost nesting site), Râle des genêts (a few) and wintering geese (up to 50,000, mostly Bernache cravant, Bernache nonnette, Oie cendrée and Oie à bec court, plus Cygne chanteur). The RSPB reserve has a hide, a visitor centre and Natural history centre. Birds here include Pygargue à queue blanche, Aigle royal, Faucon émerillon, Busard Saint-Martin, Râle d'eau, Marouette ponctuée, 16 regular wader species, 3 tern species, 3 diver species, Hibou des marais, Linotte à bec jaune and Pipit maritime.
At the sea end of the loch, Ardnare Point is a good seawatch location for viewing Fou de Bassan, divers, shearwaters, skuas, auks and sea ducks such as Harelde boréale, Macreuse noire and Harle huppé. Best place also for Crave à bec rouge. Ardnare loch is favoured by wintering dabbling ducks - Sarcelle d'hiver, Canard siffleur, Canard chipeau and Canard souchet.
