Pleasant drive from Manchester to Dumfries. Plenty of Rabbits about in roadside fields, plus 2 Kestrels and 1 Buzzard. Remnants of snow on Northern penines.
Roadside verges between Dumfries and Kirkbean full of colour with Red Campion, Wild Garlic, Common Mouse-ear Chickweed, Bluebells and Dog's Mercury all in flower (below). Hedges full of Blackthorn blossom, appearing like layers of white froth.
On the marshland between Dalbeatie and Colvend were a Buzzard, a Kestrel, 2 displaying Curlews and a possible Grasshopper Warbler. Also plenty of bats down at Colvend.
