Along the coastline otters are still active and can often be seen along rivers and streams, in search of salmon or trout, while a visit to a freshwater loch provides a tasty feed of eel for these, our most cherished mammal. Close to the seaweed and on the rising tides otters can be seen playing and searching for green crab, butterfish and shrimp along the west coast of Harris or in the quieter bays on the East. With a good population in and around Harris there is every chance of spotting one during your stay.
The sound of Taransay and along to Luskentyre is one of the most beautiful coastlines on Harris and a great place for bird watching from the dunes and machair. Common sightings over the winter here are Long-tailed duck, Surf and Common Scooters and Slavonian Grebes.
Wildlife watching in Harris makes your winter break that little bit more special and personal. So for a real winter wildlife experience come to Harris and see for yourself the amazing wildlife that makes this its home. We know you will be pleasantly surprised.
