Copyright | | The
area around Montrose, the Montrose Basin, is a bird watchers' utopia, packed with
the some of the best views of wading birds you'll find in Scotland during the
winter months.
Birds are attracted to this habitat for its glorious, glutinous
mud which is rich in food and nutrients. | |  | The British Isles was once a wet, marshy place. Despite
the loss of many natural wetlands, they are still amazing places to enjoy the
natural world.
| |  | - Our wetlands offer great opportunities for wildlife
watching. Why not take a few tips from the TV team?
