Descripción

A superb circuit of the RSPB nature reserve on the very western tip of North Uist, the Aird an Runair peninsula, with an impressive rocky foreshore and two sandy beaches goes through wildflower-rich machair and round a bird-rich headland. There are lots of opportunities to see birds such as Guión de Codornices, Escribano Triguero and Avefría Europea (depending on the season of course) and possibly an otter. The environment is now being carefully managed to increase its suitability for ground-nesting birds and insects like the great yellow bumble-bee. There is an RSPB visitor centre on site, at the start of the walk.
