Caerlaverock summer walks are now open

With the departure of the barnacle geese and most of our wintering wildfowl we have opened our meadow walk and the river walk that meanders along the banks of the Lochar Water. The wildlfower meadow is not in bloom as yet apart from the cuckoo flower which already has orange tip butterflies feeding on it. Skylarks were singing above the river walk this afternoon and there were fresh roe deer tracks along the muddy banks.
