Loch Garten |
When ospreys returned to breed in Scotland, this is where they chose to come. Now you can watch them close-up, thanks to non-invasive CCTV. The reserve also has some excellent walks, with the chance to see red squirrels, dragonflies and crested tits. Please noteThough the osprey nestcam is back, the reserve doesn't open until 1 April. Hope to see you soon! Opening timesOpen daily 10 am-6 pm from April to the end of August. Last entry to the reserve is at 5 pm. The centre is also open daily for 'caper-watch' (to see capercaillies) from 5.30 am to 8 am. This year it runs daily from 1 April to 21 May. Entrance chargesAdults £3, concessions £2, under 16s 50p. Family ticket £6 (up to two adults and two children). RSPB and Wildlife Explorer members - free. Caper-watch: adults - non-members £3, members £1, children free.
