Scotland Visit Day 7 : WWT Caerlaverock : 14th September 2011
Although we were due to return to Manchester this day, we still managed to get a couple of hours in at Caerlaverock again before continuing our journey. We started off by doing the short circular of the Peter Scott trail and in the woods there we saw some small passerines and also heard a Chiffchaff still calling away. A Robin and Tits were to be seen as were the resident Swallows, House Martins and House Sparrows. There are two hides there, one overlooking the Back Pond and the other overlooking the Back Field. From the hide overlooking the Back Field we saw a Buzzard perched on a post and another in a nearby tree. We had a quick look at the Whooper Pond but that was even quieter than the day before having mainly Mallard and the odd Tufted Duck and Shoveler.
