The Crook of Baldoon in Dumfries and Galloway is an important breeding, wintering and staging site for tens of thousands of waders and wildfowl, holding as many as 10,000 Pink-footed Geese, 1,000 Barnacle Geese and around 200 Whooper Swans during the winter months. It is an important staging post for migrating Black-tailed Godwits, on their way to their Icelandic breeding grounds and displaying Redshank, Curlew and Lapwing over the wet grassland create a spectacular sight during spring. A pair of Ospreys are breeding in the area and are regularly seen fishing here.
We want to create a new RSPB reserve at the Crook, in order to safeguard the future of this important wildlife area. You can read more about this exciting project here.
