Filming with the BBC

Over the past week, we've been delighted to welcome two separate BBC teams to Castle Espie.

Avic Warden Kez and Reserve Manager Maurice spent time showing Ruth Sanderson and her team from 'Home Ground' around the site, explaining some of the vital works carried out by WWT, at home and abroad.

They even managed to capture the moment a Barrow's Goldeneye duckling hatched inside our Duckery. This is scheduled to be broadcast on BBC1 in September.

As part of the reopening of our Duckery, Kez was also invited to speak to Anne-Marie McAleese on BBC Radio Ulster's 'Your Place and Mine' programme.
