Couldn't find it in the Scotland section and couldn't decide where was closest so decided to post here in the hope someone can set me straight

Can't believe Galloway has been missed out- must be part of a bigger section coz Galloway has LOADS of birding potential

Anyway I was wondering if anyone can give me some good places in Galloway to go Birding- I've been already to the Red Kite feeding station in Castle Douglas (a few times lol) and the Red Kite Trail around the Ken Dee marshes etc. and know of a few RSPB reserves- but haven't had time yet

So can anyone give me some good info from experiences in some places? Really up for any birds

Thanks for any help

If the areas are alphabetical might it be under "Dumfries & Galloway" ?

No it is not on at all. One for the Mods to follow up.

Been there and it is such a wonderful place for birding and scenery.

You're right, for some reason it's been missed off. We've stayed there a few times now and as you say there's plenty of birding areas around.

It's listed in Opus - http://www.birdforum.net/opus/Scotland - though not a great deal of locations.

There's a few more mentioned on these links - http://www.birdforum.net/showthread....light=Galloway and http://www.birdforum.net/search.php?searchid=3739651 though a more general search for Dumfries and Galloway will bring back loads of hits.

I dare it depends on when you plan to go. We usually visit April/May or early June. RSPB Wood of Cree still brings back fond memories as well as the Wigtown Ospreys and the hide in the bay.
