The sand dunes are some of the largest in Britain. In winter more than 20,000 wading birds such as the golden plover and lapwing are out in the estuary. Listen for the woo- wooing of about 5,000 eider ducks in the summer. There are waymarked trails on the Reserve. Park at Waterside for the dunes or at the Forvie Visitor Centre for a cliff top walk. Don’t forget binoculars if you have them! Admission free Visitor Centre open from April to October.
