A wee visit to Eskrigg and Moffat

Post by Linda257 »

Last saturday was the chosen day for a wee drive down the Eskrigg in Lockerbie ,set off at 8am and sun was shining. By time I was passing cut off for Biggar the hills were covered in snow :wow: thankfully I wasn't stopping there as it was lovely in Eskrigg. It is a tiny nature reserve but has beautiful red squirrels


And them alone is worth the drive

And a few others


After a couple of hours it got kinda busy...only takes a couple of more folk to make the place feel crowded so then it was time to head back up the road to Moffat...my other happy place :D and lucky if you see anyone else, was more about the peace and quiet than the wildlife :shrug:

Thanks SM, oh you want to have heard the clang as the lid closed on its head all the time , a did wonder if that caused the white patch on its fur :shrug:
Moffat is peaceful and stunning in all weather
