The sheer diversity of bird life is staggering here, with large birds of prey including eagles seen in and around the West Loch Shores, other birds may include kites or woodpeckers.
The richness of fauna is also clear with mosses and wildflowers growing in abundance in relatively untouched terrain which you can see in their natural environments.
Depending on the time of day you may see the odd mouse, perhaps an owl or even some bats if you are fortunate.
