  • Records of Species and Subspecies Recorded in Scotland on up to 20 Occasions
    Records of species and subspecies recorded in Scotland on up to 20 occasions In 1993 SOC Council delegated to The Scottish Birds Records Committee (SBRC) responsibility for maintaining the Scottish List (list of all species and subspecies of wild birds recorded in Scotland). In turn, SBRC appointed a subcommittee to carry out this function. Current members are Dave Clugston, Ron Forrester, Angus Hogg, Bob McGowan Chris McInerny and Roger Riddington. In 1996, Peter Gordon and David Clugston, on behalf of SBRC, produced a list of records of species recorded in Scotland on up to 5 occasions (Gordon & Clugston 1996). Subsequently, SBRC decided to expand this list to include all acceptable records of species recorded on up to 20 occasions, and to incorporate subspecies with a similar number of records (Andrews & Naylor 2002). The last occasion that a complete list of records appeared in print was in The Birds of Scotland, which included all records up until 2004 (Forrester et al. 2007). During the period from 2002 until 2013, amendments and updates to the list of records appeared regularly as part of SBRC’s Scottish List Subcommittee’s reports in Scottish Birds. Since 2014 these records have appear on the SOC’s website, a significant advantage being that the entire list of all records for such species can be viewed together (Forrester 2014). The Scottish List Subcommittee are now updating the list annually. The current update includes records from the British Birds Rarities Committee’s Report on rare birds in Great Britain in 2015 (Hudson 2016) and SBRC’s Report on rare birds in Scotland, 2015 (McGowan & McInerny 2017).

  • Loch Ryan Bird Watching
    Great places to bird watch & explore around Loch Ryan shag Loch Ryan – a safe haven Loch Ryan is Scotland’s most southerly sea loch. Its sheltered waters have been used by man since prehistoric times and it is the start of the shortest sea crossing between Britain and Ireland. For thousands of years Loch Ryan offered an ideal safe stopping-off place on the main west coast sea route. While ferries travel to and from Ireland, the sheltered waters also provide a safe haven for thousands of birds and a safe anchorage for fishing and sailing boats. Visiting the Loch Ryan coast In Scotland you have the right to enjoy the outdoors for recreation providing you act responsibly and follow the Scottish Outdoor Access Code www.outdooraccess-scotland.com. You can walk along the coast even when there are no marked footpaths but please remember to take your litter home and dispose of it responsibly. Loch Ryan is teeming with wildlife, most notably birds, so try to avoid disturbing them especially shore-nesting birds in spring and feeding flocks of waders in winter.

  • Sea Angling Along the Dumfries and Galloway Coast Contents
    Sea Angling along the Dumfries and Galloway Coast Contents Introduction to the Dumfries and Galloway Coast 2 Common Solway Fish 3 Sea Angling in the Outer Solway 5 Sea Angling in the Inner Solway 7 Fishing with nature 9 Safety information and useful organisations 11 Minimum landing sizes 13 Acknowledgements and photo-credits 14 This guide was compiled by Jane Lancaster and Jeremy Roberts. 1 Introduction to the Dumfries and Galloway Coast This booklet covers the coast of Dumfries and Galloway from the mouth of Loch Ryan to the Inner Solway. The area is one of the least developed and most natural coastlines in the British Isles. The area’s spectacular coastal scenery is one of contrasts, with immense areas of intertidal sand flats, rugged cliffs and offshore islands. Along the coastline rocky bays alternate with estuarine saltmarsh, while steep mountains rise from the coastal plain. The Galloway Hills to the north, the Lake District to the south and the Isle of Man to the south west, provide the perfect backdrop to sunrise and sunset. The Dumfries and Galloway coast is also rich in marine life with over 130 species of fish being recorded in the area. Such diversity of catch combined with some of the finest tope, ray and inshore pollock fishing make the area a must for any sea angler. The importance of this wildlife is reflected in the area’s many conservation designations, which include Special Areas of Conservation (SACs), Special Protection Areas (SPAs), National Nature Reserves (NNRs) and Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). (Contact Scottish Natural Heritage for details - www.snh.org.uk) This booklet is intended to help you get the most out of sea angling along the Dumfries and Galloway coast, without compromising its wildlife, scenic value and other users of the coast.
