We feed the birds at our lodges so sit back and watch chaffinches, greenfinches,
blue tits, great tits, coal tits and gold finches feast everyday. You will also
see buzzards, swallows, house martins, great spotted woodpeckers, tree creepers,
yellow hammers and various warblers in the surrounding areas.
At Corrimony there is a RSPB reserve, well off the beaten track, where golden eagles and crested tits can be seen. Snow buntings can be seen in winter at the Cairngorm mountain centre. Take a trip to the Black Isle and see Red Kites. Ospreys nests near Loch Ness.
