Beskrivning
5,000 vitkindad gås 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 storspov, strandskata, myrspov and kärrsnäppa occur in hundreds, and större strandpipare, rödbena, kustsnäppa, kustpipare and others in at least tens. And also the shallow water, on which a flock of up to 300 bergand, up to 50 svarthakedopping, large flocks of ejder, perhaps 25 knipa, a dozen alfågel, plenty of sångsvan and knölsvan and several hundred bläsand, spend the winter. Further out on the loch, and often better seen from Bruichladdich, are up to 100 sjöorre throughout the year, as well as all three species of divers, svartnäbbad islom sometimes exceeding 50 in number. Up to 100 småskrake moult on the loch in late summer.
Between Bridgend to Bruichladdich is a two-mile strand divided by a shingle spit, good for roskarl and Vitvingad trut or vittrut. The rocky shore in front of Bruichladdich village is an excellent place for skärsnäppa, 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 sandlöpare present through June, too. Return passage starts in July and by August flocks of sandlöpare, större strandpipare and kärrsnäppa occur, with occasional spovsnäppa and småsnäppa.
Usual possibility of otters, dolphins, porpoise, grey seal or basking shark offshore.
