At Forvie National Nature Reserve, you can spot a rich variety of wildlife, especially birds, including eiders and terns, as well as a number of wildfowl and waders. You'll also likely spot seals hauled out at the mouth of the River Ythan. Be sure to keep a distance from the seals and keep dogs under tight control and far away from seals. If the seals’ heads come up or they start shifting around, it means you are too close.
