Descripción

The northern half of the Isle of Arran is rugged, mountainous, remote country and is the most southerly site in the UK for breeding Lagópodo Alpino. The south has gentler moorland, extensive conifer plantations and much of the island’s farmland. Much of the coast is raised beach with a shoreline of rock or shingle, and steep escarpments. On the Isle of Arran 250 bird species have been seen. Best coastal birding spots for autumn migrants and winter wildfowl are Lochranza, Lamlash and Sliddery. Many raptors in the upland areas eg Aguilucho pálido, Halcón Peregrino, Águila Real, Busardo ratonero, Esmerejón, Cuervo Grande, Búho Campestre as well as Mirlo-acuático Europeo, Tarabilla común, Lagópodo Común, Collalba Gris and Colirrojo Real. Chotacabras Europeo and Chocha Perdiz in the forest clearings. Mammals include red squirrel, red and roe deer, seals, otters and dolphins.
