Approx 2 miles South-east of Dunkeld is the wildlife reserve where you can use the hides and see a pair of ospreys which nest there from April to late August. You have to pay to get access to the hides but there is also a live webcam. Beavers can be seen around dawn and dusk time if you are lucky as well as farrow deer and red squirrels and variety of other birds including nuthatches.
