Lovely 3 hours spent at Argaty Red Kites, Doune on Monday 27 January 2025. I was in the Photography Hide, and next time I will make use of the outside platform just next to this hide too. Thanks Lynn for making me feel so welcome and chatting cameras and photography!

Couldn't recommend this place more. Niall (we think his name was) who led the feeding was so informative and incredibly lovely. Very welcoming and facilties very clean.
The whole experience was one I won't be forgetting for a long time. The red kites were amazing to watch, some beautiful smaller birds all around as well. Even got to get a glimpse of a Heron. The visitor centre had some lovely displays, lots of information and farming maps which we found really useful. Will definitely be back.

I took my partner here for his birthday and we both had the best time, we learned so much and had a lovely (hilarious) chat with the owner. It was a very memorable experience and the birds were magnificent! (Recommend going on a windy day)

We had a great time watching the Red Kites yesterday. Right from our 1st call to Lynn we couldn't have done it without her immediate kind offer of taking my husband in the buggy directly from the car park up to the hide & taking him back because of his mobility issues. Olly was our driver/guide & he was superb-couldn't have been more helpful,friendly,polite & understanding. When we did join other people in the hide he was so informative & was able to answer everyone's questions. A super experience all round. Highly recommended.

Came here to watch the red Kites daily feed. The place was friendly and well organised. The member of staff joined us in the hide, he was clearly very passionate and knowledgeable about the wildlife which made the experience even more enjoyable. We saw tons of red kites which were a joy to watch and excellent for some wildlife photography!
Definitely well worth the time and money.

The staff could not have been more accommodating with helping a wheelchair user and someone with very limited mobility.
The ranger Ollie was so engaging and knowledgeable.
It was lovely watching the red kites - a very enjoyable afternoon and highly recommended.
Thanks for making this visit possible for us.

I'd never seen a red kite so close up so was lovely to see them flying, acrobatic swoops down for the food. Niall the owner was an informative and interesting guide

We turned up without booking and after the main feeding time, but were met by one of the rangers who was really helpful and explained a lot about the red kites. We went up to the hide and spent an hour just watching the kites, and the small birds on the bird feeder nearby. Could have stated for hours! The exhibition is really helpful too. A brilliant day, thanks so much to the ranger who made us so welcome.

Fantastic location, knowledgeable guide. The hide was well placed, and the explanation of kite behaviour really helped us to know what to look for. A very enjoyable afternoon.

We did the Beaver Believer tour. Excellent, interesting, peaceful, scenic, educational and friendly. Gorgeous two hours of watching adult beavers and kits. Thoroughly recommend you book for a visit

A memorable experience getting close to nature's wonders in the Scottish countryside, from the moment we arrived and throughout our experience we were met with a warm welcome and a genuinely passionate team who are true ambassadors to the conservation and development of our vulnerable wildlife.
Thanks again Lynn Bowser and team.
We will be back 🙂

Went on a particularly rainy day. Lashing !
As a result we saw no red kits but did see many small birds and a cheeky red squirrel.

I hired the studio hide that Argaty Red Kite Centre owns. Plentiful red squirrels to practice taking action photos with, jays, nuthatches, woodpecker etc. Highlight of the morning, though, was a ‘pinch me’ moment when a deer wandered near the hide and proceeded to lie down for a rest, without realizing I was there. Spent half an hour observing and secretly photographing her. What a beauty! Truly magical.

We went on one of the Argaty beaver watching evenings. Really great seeing beavers in the wild 😀. Our guide was very knowledgeable - we learned a lot about these fascinating animals! Highly recommend this visit to anyone.

Having seen the signs to Argaty Kites for many years, I finally decided to visit.
I wasn't disappointed when over a period of about 45 minutes, a constant influx of red Kites appeared once food had been put out for them.
With their beautiful colouring, they are lovely birds to watch, glide, dive, twist, and turn.
They are quite a challenge to photograph with their constant turn of speed. I had more success clicking a more sedate yellow hammer under the nut feeder 😄

Received a warm welcome and had a very good introduction to the Red Kites. Very lucky we got cracking weather and the beautiful Red Kites were very active and basically all around us. Had a brilliant day thanks to the staff and the Red Kites......not forgetting a very busy Stoat that we kept seeing 😃.

I had a wonderful day on Saturday 20/04/2024 in the studio hide.. I wanted to practice my wildlife photography and the squirrels and birds came out in force to help me. It was a great experience and I will definitely return to see the Red Kites. I would thoroughly recommend a visit to Argaty Red Kites. Thank you to Lynn and Ollie for making me welcome I hope to see return shortly.

Despite the heavy rain my wife and I loved our visit today to Argaty Red kites. We saw loads of kites swooping down for the food and they kept on coming. It was also special to see a red squirrel and various birds on the feeders including yellowhammers, great spotted woodpecker and brambling.
