Garden Wildlife UK

Last saturday was the chosen day for a wee drive down the Eskrigg in Lockerbie ,set off at 8am and sun was shining. By time I was passing cut off for Biggar the hills were covered in snow thankfully I wasn't stopping there as it was lovely in Eskrigg. It is a tiny nature reserve but has beautiful red squirrels


And them alone is worth the drive

And a few others


After a couple of hours it got kinda busy...only takes a couple of more folk to make the place feel crowded so then it was time to head back up the road to Moffat...my other happy place and lucky if you see anyone else, was more about the peace and quiet than the wildlife

Wow, looks a superb day Linda... Brownsea's just reopened for the season, so soon be my turn for a red squirrel hunt

Great set Linda, I like the one with the squirrels head inside Moffat has lovely views.

You can't go wrong with Red Squirrel shots. Very cute and very good

Thanks SM, oh you want to have heard the clang as the lid closed on its head all the time , a did wonder if that caused the white patch on its fur
Moffat is peaceful and stunning in all weather
