Hi Gareth W here are a few places you might be interested in. A bit further away from Crieff is Loch of the Lowes which is near Dunkeld for nesting Ospreys, Ardgaty near Doune is great for Red Kites. Loch Turret, Glen Lednock or the Sma' Glen are good for Upland Birds and are all near Crieff. A woodland walk called the Knock in Crieff, near the Crieff Hydro Hotel would be good for woodland birds.
Hope this helps,
Fergus |

Morning Gareth - I'd second Wolfhill recommended walks (they are lovely places with or without the birds). Have a great holiday and welcome to WAB.
