Djuba Water is a picturesque freshwater loch located in the beautiful landscape of Shetland, an archipelago in Scotland. With its tranquil surroundings and abundant natural beauty, it serves as a popular attraction for locals and tourists alike.

Covering an area of approximately 10 hectares, Djuba Water is a relatively small-sized loch. It is characterized by its calm, crystal-clear waters that reflect the surrounding lush greenery and rolling hills. The loch is fed by several small streams and springs, ensuring a constant flow of freshwater throughout the year.

The shores of Djuba Water are lined with a diverse range of vegetation, including reeds, rushes, and water lilies. This rich flora provides a habitat for various species of birds, insects, and small mammals. The loch is particularly known for its birdlife, with swans, ducks, and geese often seen gracefully gliding across the water's surface.

The loch's depth varies, with some areas being quite shallow and others reaching up to several meters. This diversity in depth creates different habitats, attracting an array of fish species such as trout and pike. Djuba Water is a popular spot for fishing enthusiasts, who can enjoy a peaceful day by the water while trying to catch these prized fish.

Surrounded by picturesque landscapes and offering a haven for wildlife, Djuba Water is a must-visit destination for nature lovers and those seeking a peaceful retreat. Whether it's birdwatching, fishing, or simply enjoying the tranquility of the surroundings, this freshwater loch offers a unique and enchanting experience for all who visit.
