Scottish Wildlife Hides – Pied Flycatcher Hide

Contact Details

  

Description

There are 40 pied flycatcher nest boxes in this large oak forest area where, hopefully, several will be used for nesting. Although wooden hides are used it is possible that, because of locations, pop-up hides may be used.

With a short window of opportunity during the 4  weeks of June there should be good sightings for the afternoons photography.

NO toilets available at these hides.

Bean bags are provided.

The short, steep walk needs good footwear and dark upper clothing is a strong advisory.
