Balranald - RSPB

Overview

An information centre explains the importance of traditional crofting agriculture for corncrakes and other wildlife. Many wading and farmland birds nest on the flower-rich machair and croft-land including corncrakes and corn buntings.

There is a three mile circular nature trail through wildflower-rich machair and round a bird-rich headland. A wide selection of wildlife can be seen, from wading birds to the elusive otter. The RSPB aims to manage the reserve for the benefit of both its key species and its general biodiversity.
