Dog Days

Dog Days

I walk the Tweed regularly with my border collies between the Tweed Bridge at Manor and the Barns estate. Have done so for the last 30+ years. So many happy times spent there walking in all seasons watching the spring birds arrive, seeing kingfishers and otters and other wildlife. I especially love the arrival of the sand martins that nest in the river bank along that stretch.

I have attached a photo of my last rescue collie Bailey who, like most dogs, loved the river. The photo was taken in the spring when the river was very low and we walked up the river together.
