Spend the first hour spotting marsh harriers as they rise from the reed beds or barn owls silently hunting with our experienced spotters.
Then take in the rest of the reserve along with our guide helping you to spot, hear and enjoy the plethora of wildlife , like reed and sedge warblers, blackcaps and whitethroats, along the trails and on the lagoons from our numerous hides.
New to birding, or looking to build your birding knowledge and ID skills then this is the tour for you! Perfect for photographers too.
