Hadn't intended to anything taxing today, but with weather closing in again, decided to day was the best day to get out on the bike.
Did a quick tour round the Caerlaverock loop. Saw a couple of buzzards, one of which was being mobbed by 30-50 rooks. There was a jay fussing around a couple of dead trees, and on riding back up the Nith, several hundreds of barnacle geese feeding in the soaking fields.
Last of all I was overflown by a couple of small groups of whooper swans, honking away as they flew.
There was remarkably little sign of flood damage riding up into Dumfries, but a lot of flooded fields and natural debris showing how high the water had been.
