Thursday 11 and Friday 12 December

Some of our birds will be off display on Thursday 11 and Friday 12 December, while vets carry out some routine health checks. If you would still like to visit us on these days, admission tickets will only be available on arrival and will be reduced to £10 an adult and £5 a child.

Close alert

Greenland White-front

Starting the day with fairly murky conditions with rain showers and a westerly wind. A Greenland White-fronted Goose was found with Pink-footed Geese on Sunley's Marsh this morning. It's likely that this is the same bird seen yesterday at Marshside RSPB.

The passing showers are, of course, excellent for dropping birds and after yesterday's Curlew Sandpiper in similar conditions, a Little Stint on Sunley's Marsh was also welcome.

Buzzard drying out

The usual raptors with 4+ Buzzard, 2+ Marsh Harrier, Peregrine, 2 Kestrel and Sparrowhawk.

Other sightings include Water Rail on Vinson's Marsh.
