At this time of year barnacle geese are coming in in their thousands to overwinter and feed in the fields - here is a distant view of just a few of the geese we saw.
Other wildlife highlights included wigeon
several dragonflies, including this one, which I think is a common darter
and several stonechats (click on the phto below for a better view)
Back in the hotel that day we had great views of a nuthatch feeding on the sunflower seeds we had put out on the wondowsill

I love that name! Over here, we have had such growth in the number of Canadian Geese. They used to be a treat to see, now they are a headache

Lovely wildlife. It looks like a very pretty place.
Hi Jeff, it is a lovely name, it means place of the lark. Yes numbers of geese can get out of hand sometimes...
Thanks spirit of simplicity, it is a lovely place!
Hello,

Beautiful photographs here.
All the best Jan
I love the wildlife...makes moving toward winter easier to take...
An awesome variety of creatures! I can't imagine so many geese all in one place!

How wonderful to be in Caerlaverock, with the geese. We love the reserves and also the castle (with the wooded area at the rear being good for damselflies in summer).
