World Wetland Aviary
Get up close to our large collection of ducks and geese from around the world.

WWT is actively involved in conservation work to protect many of the birds you can see in our collection. Look out for our Eider and Puna teal in the waterfall pen and don’t miss one of Europe’s most important populations of Barrow’s Goldeneye.
Join us for our daily Diving Duck Talk at 12:45, where you’ll learn more about diving ducks and some of the other fascinating species currently living in the Duckery. The talk takes place beside the diving tanks and is included with admission.
Our team is always happy to answer your questions about your favourite birds at Castle Espie. You can also enjoy unforgettable, up-close encounters in our World Wetland Aviary.
