All hides except Gill's Lookout are accessible to everyone today, including with mobility scooters. Water levels are continuing to drop. Lady Fen trails are now closed until after breeding season, but great views from cafe veranda. All roads including A1101 Welney Wash Road are open. 

Close alert

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.
