Enjoy a Floodlit Swan Spectacular at WWT Martin Mere

IMG_1904In a truly unique wildlife spectacle, WWT Martin Mere Wetland Centre is offering you the opportunity to watch our wild swans in the floodlight.

Floodlit swan events will be held every Tuesday evening in January. With over 1500 Whooper Swans currently on the Mere, and numbers expected to increase over the following months, this event is a once in a lifetime opportunity to see huge numbers of wild swans in their natural habitat.

From the comfort of the heated Raines observatory you will see beautiful wild swans at close quarters with a fascinating live commentary and Q&A session from the wardens.

To get a taste of what the event will be like you can view the swans in floodlight on our latest video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pk1EAj0UyVE&feature=share&list=UUQlb1STeXF0bnO74Kc9x9jw .
