About Loch Garten
When ospreys returned to breed in Scotland, this ancient Caledonian pinewood is where they chose to come. Now you can watch these magnificent birds in their natural glory, thanks to non-invasive CCTV. The reserve also has some excellent walks, with the chance to see red squirrels, dragonflies and crested tits. If you are new to birdwatching...April to August, ospreys and other wildlife can be easily seen from Osprey Centre. Expert help/interpretative staff always available, as are binoculars and telescopes. Expert-led programme of guided walks (May to August).
