Hello everyone,
Do you love the scream of swifts on warm summer evenings? I find there is nothing that evokes relaxed summer evenings with a cold G&T better, than the sound of their calls over the town. But swifts are in trouble. Fewer are returning to their nest sites and these secret places where they come to land are under threat from development. Join me tomorrow evening (6-7.30pm) to survey these special birds around Wigtown. Meet at the Wigtown Bay Visitor Centre, County Buildings at 6pm, or phone for further details 01988 402130. All welcome!
Frustratingly, our osprey camera is still not working :( 2 ospreys have been seen at the nest but seem to be keeping seperate from each other. Could this be a new bird to the area? Or perhaps the young male from last year back in town? Sadly, it is very hard to identify the birds from a distance without the camera. do keep an eye out if you live in the area and let us know your sightings. Keep checking here for updates.
