| Osprey's are now breeding in Dumfries and Galloway and between May and September a live video link will transmit pictures fom the nest back to the viewing room in Wigtown County Buildings. Here staff are on hand to interpet what you are seeing and answer all your questions about the birds.
Another rare British bird has chosen the same nest site. Underneath the Osprey nest Tree sparrows have to nested once again and from time to time put in a TV appearance.
Both Ospreys are ringed, so their history is know. So rather than me tell you, go and find out about these fasinating birds for yourself. Make a day of it and take a walk around Scotland's only Book Town.
So far in 2006, 3 eggs have been laid and we all wait for the first eggs to hatch.
Opening times: Week days, 10.am till 5pm. Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday to 7.30pm. Saturday 10am till 5pm. Sunday 2pm till 5pm.
Facililties are accessible for wheelchairs.
Good Birding.<>P
Both adults and young have now returned to Africa for the winter. We hope they will both return safely to their nest site in early April 2005 (watch this space). Edited highlights can be shown via previous DVD recordings. Please contact the Ranger, Elizabeth Tindal on 01988 402401 to check times for the room opening and showings. She is a busy person and is often out of the office, be prepared for an answerphone and do leave a message. |
