D & G Glencaple

Day 2,  Glencaple

 

After an early rise at the Hotel in Glencaple the group were rewarded with a second glorious day. 

The clear sky had brought freezing conditions and plenty of birds.

 

Skeins of Pink-footed Geese head inland after roosting on the estuary overnight.

And a tight flock of Knot, reminiscent of Starling, make their way along the River Nith, in search of a place to feed.
