Latest Sightings
Due to the frozen nights over the last three days all of the water bodies except the Whooper Pond are now frozen. Due to this a lot of the wildfowl which have been on the site have moved on into the nearby estuaries such as the Nith and Lochar. Good numbers of birds are howevere present on the Whooper Pond and also good numbers of Passerines remain.
