The pool is situated in a tranquil and scenic location, surrounded by lush green vegetation and rolling hills.

The water in Black Bin Pool is crystal clear and supports a diverse range of aquatic plant life, including water lilies, reeds, and rushes. These plants provide a habitat for various species of fish, amphibians, and insects that thrive in the freshwater environment.

The pool is a popular spot for nature enthusiasts and birdwatchers, as it attracts a wide variety of bird species throughout the year. Visitors can observe ducks, swans, herons, and other waterfowl gracefully gliding across the water's surface. The surrounding marshland provides an ideal breeding ground for many bird species, making it a haven for nesting and migratory birds.

Black Bin Pool is also a haven for wildlife, with frequent sightings of otters, water voles, and other small mammals. The pool's secluded location and serene atmosphere make it an excellent place for observing and studying the behavior of these animals in their natural habitat.

No ordinary cow!! Every day is a learning day and you can never tell what is just around or just on the bend! Here we have a herd of Riggit  Galloways, a close relation of the Banded Galloway but with a different hair-do. As is typical of all the Galloway cattle with their thick, curly hair,  the Riggit can be out-wintered and can thrive on the poorest of land.
