Wester Bodylair is a rare opportunity for birdwatchers to stay somewhere where sightings of a range of species is possible: Grouse, Curlew, Buzzards, Merlin, Peewits, Sparrowhawks, Oyster Catchers and a variety of smaller birds.

In addition, the moor is the second largest colony of Common Gulls in Europe, which despite their name are not! By arrangement with Scottish National Heritage this colony is now a protected area.
