SOLWAY: A whole load of nothing!

Just back from a quick break on the Solway with Mrs B. Not a lot to report really but then it is mid June I suppose. We stopped in at Caerlaverock on the way up as usual. Not much to report on the bird front but the rare Tadpole Shrimps ("older than the dinosaurs!") are worth a look at in reception.

The Black-headed Gull nests have been raided by the foxes apparently but it was great to see Badgers in D&G without finding them run over on the A75!

NO, it's not me with a new camera.

These two young animals frequented the grassy area near to the Farmhouse Tower and kept us amused until we left around 7PM for Southerness. A night drive later on provided us with Nightjar feeding over clear fell and Tawny Owl sitting in the middle of the road!
A good start that wasn't maintained!
