Two exciting events coming up here at Loch of the Lowes whilst we await spring and the ospreys arrival.

Fancy a taste of the exotic? Ever wondered if there was more to antipodean animals than Koalas and Kangaroos?  Ever wondered what the similarities and difference to European wildlife are? Why not come along to a talk on Australian Wildlife by the ranger Emma, who will give a lavishly illustrated trip through her favourite native animals and birds. Your chance to ask for advice on wildlife watching in Australia too! Friday the 28th February, 2pm at Loch of the Lowes visitor centre. Free to members and volunteers, and with VC entry ( small charge).
