📌 Wildlife hide near Newburgh, Aberdeenshire
★★
The Ythan isn’t a particularly large river, but it balloons in size to the east of Ellon as extensive areas of mud flats open out either side of the main channel. This is a hotspot for wading birds (winter), breeding eiders and terns (late spring and early summer), with fabulous sunsets from the upper estuary’s Waulkmill hide.
