Cathy's originally from Creetown, a small village between Newton Stewart & Gatehouse-of-Fleet, just on the side of the Solway. I don't know if you're familiar with the area, but it's a very scenic spot and always full of wildlife. Every winter the saltmarshes attract flocks of barnacle, pink-footed geese, waders and shelducks with scoter, Slav Grebes and divers offshore. There's even been a few otters and seals!
In the spring the woods are full of wild garlic and bluebells, with whinchats, stonechats, ravens, various warblers & flycatchers, peregrines and even the occasional hen harrier & black grouse up on the moors.
Not sure what part of Galloway you call home, but I'll look forward to comparing notes!
