Spring Has Arrived

Welcome to the first instalment of the Kintyre Way Wildlife Blog. This blog will follow the ever changing wildlife that can be seen while walking the way. 

The sounds, the smells, the feeling of spring have certainly come to Kintyre. Upbeat and bouncy, full of joy, a canvas covered with the most stunning colours, from a distance looks as if someone has used a massive paint brush, but if you look closer, the fine detail of many different shades of green, yellow and orange become apparent.  Full of life, that is what spring is all about, the beginning of new life, new stories, new moments that are worth remembering. 
Spring has definitely arrived with the new lambs, which can be spotted up and down the Kintyre Way, the burst of colour from the wild flowers and trees. The Daffodils have been in flower now for a few weeks, brightening up everyone’s day, showing off their wonderful yellows, whites and oranges. Primroses are now out in force along the coastal section between Clachan and Tayinloan, as well as the understated Coltsfoot, with its single flowering head, it is a miniature sun amongst the grass. 


All along the Kintyre Way, plants and animals that lie quite over the winter months are beginning to sing and dance to the music of spring.
