All hides except Gill's Lookout are accessible to everyone today, including with mobility scooters. Water levels are continuing to drop. Lady Fen trails are now closed until after breeding season, but great views from cafe veranda. All roads including A1101 Welney Wash Road are open. 

Close alert

The story from Welney so far...

We saw the first nine whooper swans arrive on 15 September, and that number has now increased to over 400.


We’ve seen numbers grow for wigeon, teal, pintail, shoveler and gadwall.

 

There are still a few passage migrants coming through the reserve including curlew, sandpiper, dunlin, yellow wagtail and wheatear. Other wintering arrivals have included redwings, which should mean the fieldfares will be here shortly.
