Moine Mhor

Moine Mhor is a speckled mixture of mossy hummocks and open pools rising in a shallow, peaty dome. Fast-moving hen harriers search the moss for prey whilst summer light catches on the glint of a dragonfly. In autumn the Reserve is dominated by the deep red tones of Sphagnum moss, soaking up water like a sponge.
