The RSPB will provide you with unique insights into the abundant birdlife at the special reserve near Inversnaid, starting from Tarbet Pier.
The RSPB will provide a guided cruise and walk with unique views over oak woodland to Loch Lomond. Catch sight of summer migrants like pied flycatcher or peek a pine marten. Wood warblers could sing you songs while ravens watch from the hill. If you’re lucky, golden eagles can be glimpsed above the tree-tops with black- and red-throated divers skimming the Loch in the early morning mist. Our RSPB cruise/walk requires moderate fitness levels and sturdy walking shoes or boots (insect repellent is recommended also); afterwards, you can lunch (not included) prior to the cruise returning to Tarbet.
