SOLWAY: Skuas, Otters, Dragonflies and midges!

Carsethorn (with Cumbria behind) from the Drumburn viewpoint on the Nith Estuary, Dumfries & Galloway.

Just back from a week in Dumfries & Galloway with Mrs B. Not much going on as expected (it is July after all), but cracking weather helped us see a few insects and we travelled around the county a bit completing some Timed Tetrad Visits and WeBS counts. A couple of hours seawatching at Southerness Point this morning produced a pair of dark morph Arctic Skuas, 2 Bonxies and 4 Manx Shearwaters and waders appear to be making their way back to the Solway too.
More on the birding adventures of Mrs B. soon ........

Short and sweet as they say but I'm still looking in Colin.

Enjoy your birding in whatever form. With my Regards.
