Beschreibung
Set on the southern shore of the loch, this nature reserve is good for birding. Fischadler visit the loch to fish during the summer, while up to 20,000 Kurzschnabelgans fly in from Iceland come autumn. Beautiful area with excellent facilities: cafe, shop, hides: and some lovely nearby walks.
