Sunshine and showers, so set off on one of our favourite local walks at Dunskey Glen to look for signs of spring. Plenty of birds about, busily nesting, we counted 35 species in total!
Great to see the beech trees finally have leaves!

We would normally now return on the lower path up through the glen but it was closed as it is in a dangerous state so we had to retrace our steps.
