Wildlife

There's a world of wildlife at Caerlaverock Wetland Centre. We’re home to thousands of wintering waterbirds with spectacular sights of swirling waders on the high tide and huge flocks of barnacle geese around the centre.

Autumn and winter at Caerlaverock

Autumn and winter are the most exciting seasons at Caerlaverock. Ducks such as teal and wigeon start to build in number on the Folly Pond, while barnacle geese and whooper swans make a welcome return.
