Coach Trip: WWT Welney
What it is
On this trip we will watch the swans gather on the washes, with Whooper Swans newly arrived from Iceland and, among them, the scarcer Bewick's Swan from Arctic Russia. The daily flight to and from the surrounding fields is the highlight, watched in comfort from Welney's heated hides.
Alongside the swans the washes also teem with other wildfowl, and as we walk around the reserve or enjoy panoramic views from the visitor centre we also expect to see Short-eared Owls hunting, Brown Hares and the increasingly scarce Tree Sparrow.
At 3.30pm we will be observing a swan-feeding session, which includes an introductory 15 to 20-minute talk about the Ouse Washes and the swans.
The trip is suitable for everyone, whether you are a beginner or an experienced birdwatcher. Newcomers are very welcome. You can join our expert volunteer guide to walk round the reserve or go round on your own, as you prefer.
