Details

The Garbh Eilean Wildlife Hide on the shores of Loch Sunart  in the Ardnamurchan provides an ideal spot to search for otters and common seals in the loch and on the shores of Loch Sunart. A range of waders, ducks and seabirds can also be seen from the hide, depending on season and, occasionally, golden and white-tailed eagles.
