Nithsdale - the natural place to visit, live and work.

A little patience, luck and a lot of peace and quiet will reward even the most inexperienced wildlife watcher with glimpses of the rare, lovely or just downright cute. From the protected red squirrel, eagles, falcons, buzzards, owls, deer, grouse and red kite, Greenland white fronted geese, pink footed geese, whooper swans and widgeon.
Summer breeding waders include lapwing, snipe and redshank. If you're lucky you may even see otters and osprey fishing in the river.

Bring binoculars, be prepared to relax and wait - the clean air and gentle silence makes time slip by unnoticed - and you won't be disappointed.
