Descrição
The centre caters for both keen birders and the interested public. Sited on the Ouse Washes, water levels fluctuate with the weather and the seasons. Welney is particularly noted for its winter gatherings of Cisne-bravo and Cisne-pequeno, although the latter are greatly reduced in number. Other waterfowl and wader species are present and there's also a lively colony of Pardal-montez, a highly localised species. Unsurprisingly, passerines are uncommon.
There are good views from the reserve centre over former arable land converted into wader friendly scrapes. A footbridge leads to the "observatory", a comfortable building built for viewing the washes. There are daily feeding sessions with informative commentary. Several hides are accessible to those willing to walk up to a kilometre.
It's worth observing the fields in the locality, while approaching the Centre. In winter, hundreds of swans feed in the arable fields, to the benefit of the commercial crops. Other species are also present in the area.
