Solway and Caerlaverock, Dumfriesshire
The Swan Pipe is a cage for trapping and ringing swans at WWT(Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust) Caerlaverock in Dumfriesshire. Mute Swans (Cygnus olor), Canada Geese (Branta canadensis) and Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) can be seen in this photo, but the main trapping done is of wild Whooper Swans. The swans are regularly fed inside the cage to accustom them so that they can later be trapped more easily and ringed.

Solway and Caerlaverock, Dumfriesshire
View from the Peter Scott Observatory, Caelaverock Wetlands Centre of the warden feeding the Whooper Swans (Cygnus cygnus), Mute Swans (Cygnus olor), Canada Geese and ducks such as Wigeon and Tufted Duck which frequent the Whooper Pond, especially at the feeding times of 11am and 2pm. Here the warden is leading the wildfowl, particularly the swans, into a funnel-shaped swan pipe where he completes the feeding every day. Then when it is occasionally necessary to catch the birds to monitor or ring them, they are already in the trap and he just needs to close the door and catch them. The reserve is run by the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust (WWT) and has excellent facilities.
