Wader Lake works

Our reserve team are working on Wader Lake today (Wednesday 27 November) which may cause disturbance to the wildlife in the area. Thank you for your patience.

Close alert

Cheeky bronze-winged ducks (video)!

Meet our gregarious, noisy, nibbly bronze-winged ducks – which we wouldn’t have any other way.
Quite difficult to film while stumbling backwards over your own feet; much better to see and be chased by them in person!

They’re also known as ‘spectacle ducks’, in a nod to their Latin name Speculanas specularis and because their white cheek patches resemble little glasses perched on their bills.
