Chilean flamingos off show

Our Chilean flamingo flock is currently being housed indoors. This is a temporary measure as a precaution to avian influenza (bird flu). We will let you know as soon as they are safe to be outdoors. Thank you for your understanding.

Canny homes for Christmas trees

9 December 2014

WANTED: canny homes for Christmas trees.

Our reserve staff have removed a small number of Scots pine trees from East Down as part of ongoing essential habitat management work.

They* are now available to good homes in return for a donation to WWT Washington, but please note that they are untreated and can’t be bagged or delivered by us – what you see is what you get!

You must promise to decorate your tree lovingly/gaudily/tastefully (delete as appropriate) and if you want to share a photo of the fabulously festive results with us, we can be found on:

*The trees, not our reserve staff. Although I could be convinced for the right price!
