26th April

Threave Castle and Gardens with Glenys.  Head of female osprey was sighted poking out of nest. I thought I saw the female chasing off a rogue male but everyone else was too busy chatting to notice.  Orange tip butterflies.  Some sedge/grasshopper warbler reports from hides on river. Actually sighted some swallows, and a good vioew of a chiffchaff in the Garden.
