Latest Sightings - 23rd December - Wet and wild!
It's wet and wild today! Please take extra care if you plan to visit us.
We will be open from 10am, but we will be assessing the wind conditions in relation to the Avenue trees and if conditions worsen only the Visitor Centre and Peter Scott Observatory will be open.
Visibility is poor at the moment, so we cannot confirm whether the American Wigeon or Green-winged Teal are on the Folly Pond, but it is likely they are. Will update asap.
Todays high tide is at 07:39, 7.5m
