This Easter weekend, join us at WWT Caerlaverock as we say farewell for now to our overwintering geese.
On the 30th March from 11am-1pm, Come and meet a warden to learn more about barnacle geese, their migration, this important wetland habitat and how we manage the reserve for geese and other species.
There will also be a dusk flight walk on 31st March, where you can witness the stunning spectacle of barnacle geese gathering on the Solway mudflats in their thousands as they prepare to make their 2,000-mile journey to Svalbard in the Norwegian Arctic.
Join the wardens out on the merse, as we stay open later to watch the geese flighting out against the sunset.
David Pickett, Site Manager at WWT Caerlaverock says “This is a brilliant opportunity to make the most of experiencing the spectacle of barnacle goose flocks before they leave for spring migration.”
In addition to this, we will have a pop-up café from the 29th-31st March. In collaboration with the Boathouse at Glencaple, soup and a selection of cakes will be available from 12pm onwards.
For more information and to book, please see our website, which will be updated with upcoming events throughout the year.
