We have been enjoying the beautiful afternoon sunshine across the Loch from our hide and making the most of the remaining light, along the short woodland walk from the car park, as the evenings draw closer. The autumn equinox is nearly upon us; Tuesday 23rd September marks the arrival of the season of fall and is seen as the period of change that leads to the darkness of winter.

During this time of of change what better way to spend your day than to explore your local area and come and have some family fun with us!
