Just as wetlands offer sanctuary to thousands of animals over the colder months, they also make the perfect place to safely escape the everyday and appreciate one of nature’s greatest shows - autumn.
For London Wetland Centre, it is a spectacular time of year. Migratory birds arrive and our reserve transforms into an impressive patchwork of rich textures and dazzling colour displays, as leaves turn amber, berries emerge from the hedgerows and fairy tale fungus sprout underfoot.
In fact, autumn is perhaps the nicest time of year to explore wetlands whatever the weather. They provide an abundance of space and fresh air for nature lovers to enjoy endless skies and autumnal backdrops. Comfortable and clean hides dotted throughout the reserve ensure visitors can protect themselves from the elements without missing out on amazing seasonal scenes.
Autumn is a great time to see waders including green sandpipers, black-tailed godwits and greenshank, while numbers of wintering ducks like shoveler, teal and wigeon rise – a treat in itself as they are some of the UKs prettiest ducks!
