Opis

Heriot-Watt is a combination of woodlands, farmlands, and grasslands. Because of its location outside of the city centre, wildlife can be found in abundance out here, including roe deer, foxes, badgers and stoats. A plethora of birds also call this campus home, thanks to the shelter provided in the woodlands that surround the campus, the farmlands utilised for studies by the university, and untouched fields and grasslands scattered throughout the campus. Throughout farmlands, bażant can be found in impressive numbers. pustułka (zwyczajna) are also a common site over the wild fields, while closer to the woodlands, krogulec are more likely to be found.

puszczyk zwyczajny call the woods around the campus home, as well as often grumpy (or cheerful?) mysikrólik. Shy sójka can also be spotted in the woods, though they are elusive. siniak are also commonly found here.

The University is also home to a large śmieszka colony that nests every year on top of the Cameron Smail Library. Do be careful around this building, particularly around fledgling season, for the gulls are not shy and students have discovered the hard way why baby gulls should be left alone.

At the main pond at the centre of campus, a variety of common water fowl can be found here, including łabędź niemy. On occasion, nurogęś will also come here. The Mute Swans also breed on this pond, so cygnets will be seen during breeding season.
