Wildlife at Cnoc nan Ghabar Carradale
Argyll and Bute
Scotland
Carradale is the nearest town or village.
OS Grid Reference: NR804403
 Carradale Forest is bounded by the Kilbrannan Sound to the East and the B842 road to the west. A programme of harvesting and replanting, which has been in progress for many years, has produced a forest with a wide range of habitiats for Wildlife. This makes Carradale a good place to see raptors like buzzards and kestrels which feed on the voles which breed in the grasses around the areas of young plantation.

Birds: Golden eagles, Hen harriers and black grouse can all be seen here, but best to be up early. We have information about Golden eagle and Black grouse
