Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh

Edinburgh  >  United Kingdom

Scotland's premier botanical garden, mainly known for its plants, is also a surprisingly good place to find birds.

Beskrivning

The Royal Botanic Garden in Edinburgh is an excellent quiet place to watch a good range of common urban and suburban species, helped by the garden's restrictions on pets, which reduces disturbance. Among less common species, stenknäck used to be a speciality, but there have been very few recent records. However, the habitat remains ideal (a very high species diversity of trees offering a good variety of seeds at different times), so they may well return. Nötväcka has recently colonised the garden in its spread north through Scotland.
