The excitement builds as the birds get ready to be fed, swans and ducks line-up waiting for the guide to appear. The live commentary begins and after an introduction to the reserve, the guide makes their way out to feed the birds. Watch a serene lagoon turn into a hive of activity as the birds feed! Enjoy close-up views of whooper and mute swans, the guide will point out any family groups or ringed individuals.
The pochard are busy diving beneath the surface of the water for the grain and the mallard say 'bottom's up' as they get in on the action.
After the feed, there is time to ask the guide any questions.
Open everyday, except Christmas Day
