Chilean flamingos

ℹ️ Flamingos off show
Our flock of Chilean flamingos is currently being housed indoors. This is a temporary measure as a precaution to local avian influenza (bird flu).
We don't know how long this will last but we'll let you know as soon as they are safe to be back outdoors!
Thanks 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.
