Join Forestry Commission Scotland and the RSPB for an informative look at these magnificent birds. We will follow part of the Galloway Kite Trail and visit the feeding station.

A 5km (3 mile) walk from Mossdale to the Secret Cages (where the first red kites were released into Galloway), taking in views and discovering charismatic wildlife along the old railway line, the Raiders Road and returning via Mossdale Loch. This walk is not suitable for wheelchair or buggy access. Sorry no dogs.

> Remarkable Raptors children's walk

Thursday, 22 & Friday, 30 July from 11am to 1 pm. Meet at Mossdale (DG7 2NF) in the kite trail car park (near the kite sculpture).

Come and learn about some of the birds of prey living here in Galloway, from the fastest and mightiest to the tiniest! Find out some amazing facts on how they can hunt and find prey. We may even get to see one or two on the day.

BOOKING ESSENTIAL as we need to know the number of children attending. Contact RSPB on 01556 670464 or email calum.murray@rspb.org.uk
