Beschrijving
Bavelaw Marsh comprises an area of open water with emergent vegetation which is a relatively rare habitat in the Lothians and is of importance for breeding and over-wintering wildfowl. Among the breeding birds in the wetland are Dodaars, Kuifeend, Scholekster, Wulp and Kievit. Over-wintering species include Wilde Zwaan, Brilduiker, Kleine Rietgans, Wintertaling and Grauwe Gans.
Bavelaw Marsh has an amazing bridge view which gives you a possibilty of seeing birds on either side of the bridge. After the bridge there is a gate you have to open to get to the boardwalk which takes you to the comfortable bird hide which has seats for birdwatching.
