Beschrijving
The RSPB Loch Gruinart Reserve has two hides and a visitor centre. In the spring the fields come alive with breeding wader displays including Kievit, Tureluur and drumming Watersnip. Kwartelkoning calls can be heard from mid-May and Blauwe Kiekendief can be seen displaying on the moorland. In Autumn, Brandgans and Kolgans arrive in numbers around 30,000 from Greenland, this arrival attracts many Zeearend to the Loch. Waders such as Drieteenstrandloper, Bonte Strandloper, Bontbekplevier, Goudplevier and Rosse Grutto can be seen through the autumn and winter using the loch. Wintering wildfowl such as Smient, Pijlstaart, Wintertaling and Wilde Zwaan spend the winter in front of the hides.
