Wildlife at David Marshall Lodge Visitor Centre

 

Birds: The new wildlife room at The David Marshall Lodge will offer the opportunity to see the Ospreys set up their nests and rear their young again this year.

In addition to the Ospreys we hope to get pictures of the Buzzard, Blue Tit, Raven and Peregrine Falcon. So if you are not lucky enough to see these wonderful birds in the woods come up to the Lodge and see them on live television. We have information about Osprey
