Reserve update 29th April - 3 egg Ospreys and Summer Walk open!
Our pair of Osprey have now laid 3 eggs which they are now incubating on the nest!
You can watch live between 10am and 5pm here: http://www.wwt.org.uk/wetland-centres/caerlaverock/experience/ospreys/
The eggs will likely hatch around mid May.
The Summer Walk is now open, which means you can walk through our traditional hay meadow and alongside the Lochar Water. See the reserve from a whole new perspective for the next few months!
