The UK's wetlands are a vital winter home for thousands of wading birds and wildfowl, and the Dee Estuary is one of the best places in the country to see them.
Join us for this exclusive afternoon walk with the reserve's former warden to brush up on your ID and marvel at the flocks of ducks, geese and and a variety of other water birds that spend the winter here. Eight types of ducks and up to five types of geese can be seen here at this time of year, in colourful breeding plumage after their autumn moult.
This gentle walk will cover around 2 miles along fully accessible trails to Burton Mere Wetlands' new Border hide, stopping at screens and viewpoints along the way. As dusk approaches, finish back at the visitor centre for a drink and a snack of your choice, staying for half an hour after the reserve closes to visitors to experience - weather permitting - one of our dramatic sunsets, and the flurry of activity of birds flying to roost on the reserve.
Appropriate outdoor clothing and footwear suitable for the weather conditions are essential, with binoculars and/or telescope highly recommended, but binoculars can be hired here on the day! Please note, we request for face coverings to be worn indoors unless exempt, except to eat and drink.
Ticket price includes the drink and snack, plus the reserve entry fee for non-members. Members should bring their membership card to present on arrival.
