Wildlife at Greenwood Retreat
If you are a keen ornithologist and nature lover, you do not need to venture far from your cottage and the trails that weave through Greenwood Retreat.
Feel free to bring your trail cameras, night cameras, or wildlife hide tents to enjoy and capture what you see.
Sky
There is a wealth of bird species who visit the garden and gounds; yellow hammers, warblers, reed buntings, song thrushes and goldfinches, to name but a few. Each cottage has a bird table with food supplied to encourage close-up encounters with these feathered friends. Higher up, on the hills behind the cottages, you will hear skylarks singing over their domain. Keep a watch out for golden eagles, white-tailed eagles and buzzards ascending and descending effortlessly on the thermals.
Sea
Minke whales, orcas, basking sharks, dolphins, porpoises, seals and otters frequent Loch Sunart and have been seen from the shoreline.
Land
Red and roe deer, red squirrels, badgers, stoats and pine martens all frequent the forest and hillside.
