Wildlife experiences
There are so many amazing wildlife spectacles to enjoy, highlights have to be the daily flights of whooper and Bewick’s swans in the winter, breeding birds including black-tailed godwit, lapwing, snipe and redshank putting on their best displays in spring, bats and barn owls on summer evenings and the bugling calls of cranes in autumn.
To enhance your stay and for a full wildlife experience we can provide the use of a bat detector, moth trap or explorer backpacks for children on request, and for a small donation you can book time with a warden to identify the finds from the moth trap. There’s also the opportunity to have an hours walk with a guide around our wetland reserve for £25, binoculars are available to hire from the centre if you do not have your own. Please indicate your interest in these wildlife extras when booking or call 01353 860711 for more details.
Location
The nearest village, Welney, is two miles away and is home to the Lamb & Flag pub. Most of the year this is accessible via the A1101, occasionally after spells of prolonged or heavy rain the Ouse Washes can flood cutting off the most direct access.
The village of Littleport is seven miles away, has a variety of shops and an additional pub on the River Great Ouse. Just beyond (eleven miles from WWT Welney) is the City of Ely, with a variety of independent shops, cathedral, supermarkets, cinema, eateries and walks.
