Did you catch BBC Autumnwatch last week? The barnacle geese that come to the Solway Firth, all the way from Svalbard in the Arctic Ocean, were the stars of the show.
(you might also remember their amazing cliff-jumping from the BBC's Life Story series)
Our nature reserve at Mersehead - neighbour to the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust's place at Caerlaverock - is a great place to see barnacle geese, and lots of other wildlife.
