Welney Sightings - 26/11/2024
A lovely selection of birds to bee seen around the reserve. Water levels are rising slowly but haven't caused any disruptions yet. We will promptly keep up to date with what hides and walks are open or closed, over the following days. We also have some spaces left for the Wetland Wakeup event this Saturday (30th November). So if you would like to witness the birds stretch their wings with the rising sun, book yourself a spot today using the following link - https://www.wwt.org.uk/wetland-centres/welney/whats-on/events/wetland-wakeup
