Descripción
Caerlaverock is a wetland reserve that is home to thousands of wildfowl in winter, including thousands of Barnacla Cariblanca and also Ánsar piquicorto and Cisne Cantor. The 570 hectare Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust reserve is situated on the north Solway Coast. Almost the entire Svalbard breeding population of Barnacla Cariblanca winters on the Solway and can be seen best from the hides, towers and observatories at Caerlaverock which is considered one of the best wildlife watching sites in the UK. In summer you can watch Águila Pescadora hunting over the Solway Firth, and in winter, Aguilucho pálido and Esmerejón can be seen. Among rarer species, Barnacla cuelliroja has been recorded on two or three occasions, but cannot be relied on. Cisne Chico used to occur too, but have stopped visiting for over a decade now with short-stopping due to global warming. Green-winged Teal have occurred several times and are worth checking for among the wintering Cerceta Común flocks.
