Montrose Basin Nature Reserve
Montrose, on the North East coast of Scotland, is notable for its tidal basin.

There is a variety of different zones on the Montrose Basin Local Nature Reserve ranging from the mud, fresh water, sea water, brackish water, saltmarsh, reedbed, unimproved grassland and arable land. The Reserve is particularly noted for the birds that breed, feed and roost there, but it is also notable for its plant life (both in and out of the water). Being a Local Nature Reserve, it is also important for the leisure activities it supports that co-exist with the wildlife - birdwatching, sailing, fishing, wildfowling and bait digging.
The visitor centre offers high powered telescopes with which to view some of the 50,000 migratory birds, as well as potentially catching sight of seals, otters, eels and salmon.

If you've had fun on your family day out to Montrose Basin Nature Reserve, tell us about it your visit, so other people will know it's a great place to go as well.
