A Bird in the Crinan…

Twitchers travelling through 'Britain's most beautiful shortcut' are in for a treat after Scottish Canals' staff erected a custom-built bird hide.

Building the bird-hide

The teams on the Crinan created the hut to take advantage of the abundance of feathered wildlife in the area following the success of a similar structure a few years ago.

The original hide may have succumbed to a particularly harsh winter, but the new structure is very much a twitcher’s paradise and is more than capable of standing up to the elements.
