Pastures New:


Hi everyone. My name is Paul and I have been the seasonal ranger with the Dumfries & Galloway countryside team since April this year and have been responsible for creating and updating this blog. 

Having thoroughly enjoyed my time here working with such a great team, in such wonderful countryside, with such wonderful species and encountering all the very friendly visitors, I am off to pastures new. I have been lucky to have been offered a position working for the Wildlife Trust for Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire & Northamptonshire. 

So I just wanted to say goodbye and thank you to all who have followed the blog over the past few months and hope that you have enjoyed the few nuggets of info that I have offered up. The blog will be continuing with the help of Ranger Judy, Ranger Dave and Ranger Karl.

All the best.

    Hi Paul,

    So sorry you are going, have really enjoyed your blog this summer, so have all my friends in the Wildlife Village, (www.ladyoftheloch.co.uk) the ospreys have been a great success at Threave this year, saw the chicks yesterday and they look great.

    Perhaps you will come back for another season to Dumfries and Galloway, so 'haste ye back', and the same to our osprey family.

    Best wishes with you new job.

      We'd also like to add our thanks for the blog which we've enjoyed very much. We've been visiting D&G for holidays over the past few years and it is lovely to be able to keep up to date with developments (particularly news on the osprey family).

      Very best wishes for your new job Paul
