An assortment of birds and red squirrels.
Dunoon and the surrounding Cowal Peninsula in Argyll and Bute offer a wealth of opportunities to experience Scottish wildlife. Here's a glimpse of what you might find:
#Holy_Loch The head of Holy Loch, especially the mudflats at #Sandbank, is excellent for #birdwatching. You might spot curlews, oystercatchers, wigeon, and red-breasted mergansers. There's a bird hide at #Broxwood for better viewing.
#PucksGlen This #magical #woodland with gorges and #waterfalls is another habitat for red squirrels.

Mammals: Red squirrels, red deer, otters, common (harbour) seals, grey seals, harbour porpoises, and possibly bottlenose dolphins.
Birds: A wide variety of seabirds (oystercatchers, eider ducks, gulls, herons, curlew, etc.), wading birds, and potentially birds of prey like buzzards, and if you're lucky, golden eagles or sea eagles.

Nature Reserves and Trails:
#Holy_Loch_Nature_Reserve A community-run reserve mainly for birdwatching, with saltmarsh, wildflower meadows, and woodland habitats.

Benmore Botanic Garden: While a botanic garden, its mountainside setting provides habitat for wildlife like red squirrels and deer.
#Bullwood_Nature_Trail: A woodland trail with a focus on nature and wildlife.


To increase your chances of seeing wildlife, remember to be patient, quiet, and observe from a distance. Dawn and dusk are often the best times to spot many animals. Enjoy exploring the natural beauty around Dunoon!
