The area abounds with bird and wildlife - the Red Squirrel is a native to these part, whilst the Otter has made a return and even the elusive Pine Marten has been seen. The shores of Loch Eck and the Holy Loch Nature Reserve are home to Curlew, Sandpiper and Heron, and by the River Eachaig Dipper, Wagtail, Jay and Woodpecker have been sighted.
