Description
5,000 Bernache nonnette roost at Bridgend Flats at the landward end. A convenient road, with several specially provided bird-watching lay-by, hugs the shore from Bowmore to Bruichladdich, enabling one to view both the tidal sandflats at the head of the loch, where Courlis cendré, Huîtrier pie, Barge rousse and Bécasseau variable occur in hundreds, and Grand Gravelot, Chevalier gambette, Bécasseau maubèche, Pluvier argenté and others in at least tens. And also the shallow water, on which a flock of up to 300 Fuligule milouinan, up to 50 Grèbe esclavon, large flocks of Eider à duvet, perhaps 25 Garrot à oeil d'or, a dozen Harelde boréale, plenty of Cygne chanteur and Cygne tuberculé and several hundred Canard siffleur, spend the winter. Further out on the loch, and often better seen from Bruichladdich, are up to 100 Macreuse noire throughout the year, as well as all three species of divers, Plongeon imbrin sometimes exceeding 50 in number. Up to 100 Harle huppé moult on the loch in late summer.
Between Bridgend to Bruichladdich is a two-mile strand divided by a shingle spit, good for Tournepierre à collier and Goéland à ailes blanches or Goéland bourgmestre. The rocky shore in front of Bruichladdich village is an excellent place for Bécasseau violet, from about November to May, and they can also be seen at Port Charlotte. Loch Indaal is never empty. Wader passage occurs in April and May, with a few Bécasseau sanderling present through June, too. Return passage starts in July and by August flocks of Bécasseau sanderling, Grand Gravelot and Bécasseau variable occur, with occasional Bécasseau cocorli and Bécasseau minute.
Usual possibility of otters, dolphins, porpoise, grey seal or basking shark offshore.
