Site description (2007 baseline):
Site location and context
Loch Flemington is located 8 km south-west of Nairn in the Highland region of Scotland. It is a small, shallow, eutrophic loch formed in a kettlehole situated among a suite of fluvioglacial landforms produced in the last glaciation. The loch has a limited exchange of water with no obvious outlet, and supports a largely undisturbed aquatic plant community associated with eutrophic conditions, including diverse submerged and emergent vegetation and sedge fen. The loch supports an important and highly productive breeding population of
Podiceps auritus.
