Whirling Wader Breakfast Walk at RSPB Snettisham

Get ready for an extraordinary wildlife experience at Snettisham reserve. Brace yourself for the mesmerising aerial display of wading birds as they take flight in the face of encroaching tides. Overhead, the air echoes with the sound of tens of thousands of wing beats as birds wheel and soar over The Wash. As the show concludes you'll get to enjoy the serene beauty of The Wash with your guide, observing shorebirds and gulls foraging on the mudflats or resting in saline lagoons. Delve into the world of these dynamic birds, their breeding and migration behaviours and discover why this estuary is such a unique and important ecosystem. Conclude your tour at Knots Landing before enjoying a delightful breakfast at the acclaimed Rose and Crown.

This event coincides with one of the highest spring tides of the year and public parking will be limited. Your VIP ticket guarantees you premium parking at this very popular event and the opportunity to spend the morning with an RSPB ranger.

Don't forget to grab your camera for lasting memories of this unforgettable moment and do bring some binoculars if you have them!
