🦆 Local Wildlife Spotlight: The Feathered Residents of Forfar Loch! 🦢
👉 If you’ve taken a stroll of the 4km loop around Forfar Loch recently, you’ve probably noticed we share the path (and the water) with some absolutely stunning neighbours. Whether you’re a keen birdwatcher or just out for a dog walk or a jog, our local patch is teeming with birdlife right now.
👉 Next time you're out, keep your eyes peeled for these regulars:
✨ The Elegant Mute Swans: Unmistakable and regal, watching them glide across the calm morning water never gets old.
🦆 Our Quirky Ducks: From familiar Mallards to diving Tufted Ducks and great crested grebes popping under the surface, there's always a bit of drama happening in the shallows.
🪵 The Patient Grey Heron: Look closely near the reedbeds and wooded shorelines! They look like living statues, perfectly still, waiting for the perfect moment to strike for a fish.
Bonus Summer Spots: If you are incredibly lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of an Osprey sweeping in to fish during the warmer months! 🦅
