Thanks to satellite tracking, you can follow the local Osprey chicks which fledged near to WWT Caerlaverock, as they migrate south!
WWT Caerlaverock tell us that the Caerlaverock area is home to breeding ospreys that have arrived every summer since 2006, and that they’ve successfully reared 15 chicks to fledge to date.
The Forestry Commission Scotland satellite tracking website shows that one is already in North Africa! To think that this year’s birds only hatched out at the end of May/ start of June is incredible!
