Today's Sightings

Highlights from around the reserve today...if you are travelling to us from Littleport or Welney village it is worth looking out for two cattle egrets along the river bank South of the A1101 junction to take Station Road to the visitor centre.

A cold start today but we will hopefully see the sun poking through the clouds later this afternoon.
