WeBS count
We had a lovely WeBS count on Monday where once a month we count all of the wetland birds on the reserve. This is a coordinated count we have been doing every month since WWT took on the reserve. It is a BTO survey and all important wetlands are counted across the UK on or around the same date. Photo - Teal
