then stranraer for pies......the pies in scotland are stunning
a few eiders in the harbour
then on to wood of cree rspb
this is a great wood loved it felt old pied flycatcher redstart cuckoo and wood warbler and sand martins from the boardwalk near the carpark some stunning sights
saturday
up to the red kite feeding station at bellymack farn in laurieston. despite seeing red kites daily this was special and 2pm they got fed
their fast when the food is thrown but what a sight 100 red kites feeding calling etc stunning and much better views than i had in the 80's at tregaron
