The Saltmarshes


A visit to Old Kirkpatrick today,and a walk along the Clyde salt marshes.
I spotted this deer and her young fawn, she was no more than 100 yards from the river edge.

The Saltmarshes at Old Kilpatrick is a nature reserve on the banks of the Clyde it contains internationally important numbers of wintering redshank and curlew that flock to the reserve’s rich mudflats, which are an important feeding ground.

What beautiful photos - you were lucky to see the deer and fawn close enough to photograph them. I must go there one day too - to be honest I never heard of that nature reserve before.
