Description
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 Oie à bec court, Oie cendrée, Canard siffleur and Cygne chanteur can be seen on the loch, and in summer, large numbers of Hirondelle rustique, Hirondelle de rivage and Martinet noir can be seen over the water. Fuligule morillon, Garrot à oeil d'or and Grèbe huppé can be seen year-round.
In the woodlands, there are Geai des chênes, Grimpereau des bois, Pic épeiche, Tarin des aulnes and Épervier d'Europe. In the winter Sizerin flammé and Pinson du Nord frequent the woods, and in summer Rougequeue à front blanc and Coucou gris can be found. Between late March to late August, there are a pair of breeding Balbuzard pêcheur. Their nest is situated within 200 metres of an observation hide, allowing up-close viewing through binoculars and telescopes.
