A peaceful country lane winds through lush greenery near Kelso in the Scottish Borders, surrounded by towering trees and dense undergrowth. The shaded forest path stretches into the distance, perfect for a quiet stroll or a leisurely cycle on a warm summer day. Birds sing from the branches while dappled sunlight filters onto the track, creating the ideal setting for a #NatureWalk along this #ForestPath. The area reflects the serene charm of rural Scotland, where every turn reveals the timeless beauty of a #CountryLane embraced by unspoilt #Greenery.

#FalmouthME - #GilslandFarm #BirdWalk

Thursday, Feb 26 2026
8:00 am - 10:00 am

"Join us for a weekly bird walk at Gilsland Farm, led by #MaineAudubon’s Staff Naturalist #DougHitchcox and others. Meet in the parking lot, in front of the Visitor Center, where we’ll begin a slow walk around the property to look and listen for birds using Gilsland’s diverse habitats. Free, no registration required.

The walk typically covers between 1 to 2 miles (1.5 – 3 km). Waterproof shoes are recommended as the paths can be damp with dew in the mornings and icy when frozen. Please bring your binoculars, but we do have extra pairs if you need them, just ask Doug when you arrive.

Maine Audubon strives to provide inclusive and accessible programs for all members of the community. If you require accommodations to participate in this program, please email events@maineaudubon.org. Maine Audubon can best meet the needs of requests submitted at least seven days before the event start date."
