Loch of the Lowes Wildlife Reserve covers 98 hectares and from early April to late August the star attraction is a pair of breeding ospreys.Their nest is situated within 150 metres of our observation hide, allowing osprey family life to be observed through binoculars, telescopes and closed-circuit television (CCTV).
Red squirrels and great spotted woodpeckers can be seen from our viewing windows, and fallow and roe deer are often seen from the hide. Red squirrels and pine martens visit the feeders at the viewing windows.
Wildfowl numbers peak in early winter when up to 3,000 migrant greylag geese roost on the loch as well as goldeneyes, mallards, goosanders, wigeons, teals, tufted ducks and great-crested grebes, which usually breed near the hide.
