Scotland Visit Day 2 : Loch of the Lowes : 9th September 2011
We left Stirling on Friday with the intention of getting to Aberdeen by around 6pm. This gave us just enough time to drop in to the Loch of the Lowes Scottish Wildlife trust reserve on our way up. We didn’t have a great deal of time but we managed to fit in about an hour or 90 minutes. The Ospreys had gone, of course, but the last time we were there we had even less time so we wanted to revisit. It was a little quiet really but there is a good visitor centre with panoramic windows in front of feeders in the woods so there is always something to see and, as before, we saw a few Red Squirrels and we also saw a Greater spotted Woodpecker and a Jay.
