Wildlife at Roseisle Moray Forests
Moray
Scotland
Kinloss is the nearest town or village.
OS Grid Reference: NJ104656
 A beautiful coastal pinewood bordering Burghead Bay. The sandy shore gives great vantage points for watching ducks and waders, especially in winter. We know it's a place you'll keep coming back to.
There is a small charge of £1.00 to park your car in the car park, which is used towards the upkeep of the picnic area. Season tickets are available for £10.00 and can be purchased from the on-site warden. If he's not around they are available from Tourist Offices, or by sending a cheque (payable to Forestry Commission) to the Moray District Office, Balnacoul, Fochabers, IV32 7LL.
Mammals: Red squirrels are active throughout the forest, but best seen when few visitors are about. Look out for the remains of nibbled cones. There's also a chance of seeing seals and dolphins out from the shore. We have information about Red squirrel
Birds: Winter birdwatchers have a good chance of seeing common and velvet scoters, and long-tailed and eider ducks. Waders include dunlin, redshank, ringed plover and bar-tailed godwit.
