Recent Wildlife SightingsThe swallows are about, I’ve had reports of a kingfisher along the River Afton, Have you got any other wildlife reports for New Cumnock? Are any species more abundant at the moment? Has there been an influx of painted lady butterflies in New Cumnock? Are there any species missing? Has anything disappeared?
