Bird Watching
|
Balfour is a sporting estate and as such has been managed to provide and improve habitat, ensuring that a wide range of birds nest on the estate. Shapinsay also has an RSPB reserve at the Mill Dam. A well-equipped hide is provided here to view this haven for waders and wildfowl. Habitats on the island include a range from salt marsh though tidal sands to upland heather ensuring that there are a wide range of species to view all the year round. During migration easterly winds often bring rarities to the island. We can provide experienced guides if required. RSPB Reserve Site
