Join our friendly and highly experienced guide for an inspiring and informative walk across the reserve to spot all the wonderful wildlife we have to offer throughout Summer.This 2.5 hour walk is aimed at all levels of knowledge, for those that wish to improve their wildlife watching skills and would like to learn more about the fabulous fauna and flora we have here.
We'll explore all the main areas of the reserve to try to spot species like, Avocet and their chicks, Marsh Harrier, and Ruff. The heronry will be full of activity as grey heron, little egret and great white egret are busy rearing their families. On the trails, our orchids will be at their best. We'll look for Bee, Southern Marsh, Spotted and Pyramidal orchids and their hybrids. The abundance of wild flowers attracts many butterflies and day flying moths through summer. Dragonflies will be active on sunny days, Broad bodied chasers are well named and we regularly see the impressive emperor. Our experienced leaders will explain why and when these fabulous creatures decide to visit our unique reserve, the wider work we do to make this reserve so brilliant, the history and journey we’ve been on to make the reserve what it is today.
Please dress appropriately for the weather on the day and have sturdy footwear. Don't forget to prepare for sunny weather, hats, sunscreen and water.

We also have a mobility scooter you can hire from the Visitor Centre, contact us to book in advance. If you require any adjustments for this event please let us know beforehand.
