RSPB Scotland has a packed summer line-up of wildlife events across the country.
From wandering through wildflower meadows at Loch Lomond, to wildlife photography workshops at Lochwinnoch, and nocturnal explorations of Mersehead using infra-red cameras and bat detectors, there's something for everyone.
At Loch Leven, people can enjoy an open-air performance of Shakespeare’s "The Tempest," while at Loch Garten, a replica of the famed Operation Osprey hide can be hired to spot magnificent birds and red squirrels.

Anna Pugh, visitor experience and marketing manager, said: “The summer is an excellent time to head out to our nature spaces – the days are longer so there’s time to make the most of all that’s on offer.
“We want everyone to find a nature adventure they love, whether that is looking for lizards, listening out for mysterious nocturnal wildlife or learning more about fantastic wildflowers. You can find incredible wildlife all across Scotland.
“We love helping people discover how fantastic our nature is, and with everyone’s help, we can protect it and ensure there’s more of it to enjoy for generations to come.”
