Wildlife awards
Loch of Kinnordy is one of the best places for wildlife in the UK.
Top things to do in Spring
- Listen for drumming great spotted woodpeckers, along with warblers recently returned from Africa
- See the black-headed gull colony in front of the hides
- Watch blue tits and great tits making use of the nestboxes
Top things to do in Summer
- Watch ospreys fishing over the loch, often very close to the hides
- Wander along the trail over the marsh flowers
- Sit quietly in a hide to catch a glimpse of a water rail feeding at the waters edge
Top things to do in Autumn
- Stop, look and listen for red squirrels all through the woodland edge
- Watch flocks of starlings gathering over the reedbed at dusk, or listen to them 'explode' from the reeds at sunrise
- Admire the colours of autumn as leaves fall along the trail
Top things to do in Winter
- Listen to the haunting calls of whooper swans
- Look out for female hen harriers hunting over the reserve
- See siskins, bullfinches and long-tailed tits feeding in flocks around the reserve
