There is wildlife aplenty at Tigh a’ Mhaide and in the surrounding area but many of our resident or visiting creatures are shy – or nocturnal – so spotting them isn’t always easy.
However, thanks to a wildlife camera in the woods, we’ve recently been treated to images of foxes, deer and a local badger.
We’ve even caught a fleeting glimpse of a passing otter which came almost nose-to-nose with one of the foxes before retreating hastily to the river. There are an estimated 8,000 otters in Scotland, living along the coasts or beside clean rivers and lochs and although the population is flourishing, it was still a surprise to see one.
Our most common visitors are roe deer. Along with red deer, these are native to Scotland and are a common sight.
