The reserve includes herb-rich grassland, hedges, marshy ponds, scrub, woodland and the large loch itself. Hogganfield’s accumulated bird list includes over 140 species and on most visits, recorders note 25 to 30 species at any time of the year. The loch is particularly favoured by waterfowl in winter. Meet in the reserve car park.
