WWT Welney

A few Saturdays ago I we went to Welney I had never been before so I was very excited. It was a very Early start at 7.00am and arrived at 10.00am (including a stop off). We had a brief introductory and went on our way. I was very impressed with the Central heated hide which viewed the Whooper swans very well. That were we stayed most of the day apart for moving onto the last hide were we found Bewick swans and Golden eye. Over all a very successful day.
