Hello everyone,
Spring has finally arrived. The first swallows are swooping through Wigtown and the male osprey EP, is spending every morning at the nest, searching the skies and tidying, hoping a female osprey will take an interest.
This weekend is the Wigtown Book Weekend - visit this website, www.wigtownbookfestival.com to see the full programme and ticket booking information. In the Wigtown Bay Visitor Centre, we are having otter themed craft and quiz activities, all day Sunday & Monday. On Sunday, I will be telling the story of the Hunger Otter, by Mark Ezra, and well-known local story-teller and songstress, Renita Boyle will be bringing local animals to life with stories and songs at 3pm. The Utterly Otterleys, by Mairi Hedderwick, is the story for Monday at 3pm. Hope to see you in the Visitor Centre over the weekend.
Also in the programme are 2 Dawn Chorus guided walks - Saturday, 5.30-7.30am at the Crook of Baldoon; and Monday, 5.30-7.30am at the Wood of Cree. Please contact the Wigtown office to book a place on either of these lovely walks - 01988 402130.
