Close alert

Whooper Pond webcam

In spring and summer, lookout for black headed gulls who might be using the purpose-built raft to breed. Watch for aerial acrobatics of swallows and house martins as they catch insects in flight.

In autumn and winter, enjoy our whooper swans as they return from their Icelandic migrations and go about their daily life. Pick out family groups and observe their social interactions.

Other species frequent the pond too: from wigeon and tufted ducks to herons and egrets. You might even be lucky and spot an otter or two!
