A Local nature reserve in the Howe Of fife
 near the village of Collesie on the main A91 road.
The reserve was created in 1991 at the old Kinloch Quarry workings which were kindly donated to the people of 
North East Fife by the family of
JS Baird & sons in association with
Pioneer Aggregates UK Ltd

A wetland made up of open water and a large marsh with easy flat walks. Birnie Loch is good for many species of ducks while nearby Gaddon loch is more open quieter and excels in wading birds.

A good number of duck species can be seen including Goosander, Pochard, Tufted Duck, Gadwall, Mallard and Eurasian Teal. Common Snipe and Water Rail breed. Passerines to be seen are Yellowhammer, European Goldfinch and Common Linnet. Passage waders noted previously on the reserve include Green Sandpiper and Black-tailed Godwit, and Little Plover and Pectoral Sandpiper have put in an appearance in recent years. There is a large gull roost in winter.
