Latest Sightings - Saturday 14th April

One Whooper Swan is on the Whooper Pond this morning, with a few remaining Mute Swans. The resident male Mute Swan is trying to chase these last few away as his mate is building a nest on the Teal Pond.

Good numbers of Redshank and Black-tailed Godwit on the Folly Pond at the moment.

The osprey nest camera is now live on our website, 10:30am - 5pm!
