For WWT Martin Mere Wetland Centre, it is a spectacular time of year. 40,000 pink footed geese will touch down at WWT Martin Mere for the autumn.

In fact, autumn is perhaps the nicest time of year to explore wetlands whatever the weather. They provide an abundance of space and fresh air for nature lovers to enjoy endless skies and epic sunsets. Comfortable hides, situated throughout all our reserves, ensure visitors can protect themselves from the elements without missing out on amazing seasonal scenes.

Nick Brooks from WWT said: “Our WWT wetland centre is an ideal places to immerse yourself in nature and there is no better time to see what the wetlands in your area have to offer than autumn. Seeing thousands of thousands of geese flying overhead and whiffling down to the mere is one of natures greatest spectacles – but they are only here for a short time!”
