Collect an explorer backpack from the visitor centre complete with birdwatching and bug hunting kit. Then set out exploring the reserve – follow trails across out footbridge from the visitor centre to the main hide and then the discovery trail from the main hide to Lyle hide to learn more about our seasonal wildlife. If you still have energy to burn head out to the furthest reaches of the reserve for a totally immersive wetland experience.

Then explore underwater and head to our pond dipping station - grab a net and see what you can find.

Whatever the weather you can explore the pond room with its microscope tables, art & craft activities and views of the bird feeding station.
