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.

Close alert

Good view of goosander

Last night on clearance I spotted a great bird on site - a male goosander swimming right in front of Paddy's Hide, as I was counting the curlew roost (670 birds btw!).

At Washington, goosander are normally found on the river  from late autumn/winter, so seeing one so close on Wader Lake was fantastic.

Also around last night were two barn owl and four tawny owl.
