Loch Leven's wildlife island

15 April to 20 July

Join us by beautiful Loch Leven for your chance to see the largest concentration of breeding ducks in Europe.

Loch Leven is an internationally important site for wildfowl and waders, and is the most important inland breeding site in Britain for wildfowl.

Our nestcam on uninhabited St Serfs Island lets you get close to a range of nesting ducks without disturbing them, including tufted ducks, mallards, widgeon, and teal.

You'll also have the chance to watch great crested grebes, osprey and many other waterbirds.

At our nearby nature reserve Vane Farm use our telescopes in the observation café and walk on our trails for your chance to spot even more waders and waterfowl.

Friendly staff and volunteers are on site daily, 10 am-5 pm.

Facilities

There are two telescopes available for you to use.
