As we move into the last three weeks and the foreshore only period it finally looks as if we have a little light at the end of the tunnel as the vaccines are rolled out.
Wildfowling on the Solway
Just before dawn, you are laying face down on the cold frost covered bank of a frozen ditch. As the sun begins to rise, in the near distance you hear the beating of wings above your head. Now is your chance, for there might not be another on this wild morning’s flight.
Wildfowling is difficult and challenging but is one of the oldest and purest forms of hunting. With a good supply of wild ducks, waders and geese and views across the Solway, we believe Wildfowling on the Solway is very rewarding and an experience you are sure to remember.
The Scottish Solway Wildfowlers Association started in 1953 and have a strong commitment to protecting the practice of Wildfowling on the Solway Estuary.

Lastest information on Wildfowling from the Scottish Government, BASC and SACS
After a very different year, and undoubtedly a difficult one, I wanted to take this opportunity to wish you all a Happy Christmas and peaceful and healthy New Year.
Wildfowling is the pursuit of geese, ducks and waders, often on estuaries and coastal marshes. Wildfowling is mainly a solitary sport, requiring considerable stamina and patience as it takes place during the winter months, in cold, and often wet and muddy conditions. It is, in essence, the pursuit of wildfowl in wild places.
