East of site currently closed

There is some tree damage at the east of site on the visitor path. It's a very large tree so we will be keeping this area closed until we can get a tree surgeon in to make it safe. Thank you for your understanding, we will remove this alert once the area has reopened.

Artist of the month - Lawrence Patterson

Don’t miss our latest wildlife photography exhibition, on show all month in the main corridor.

Common whitethroat

Lawrence ‘Lol’ Patterson – born and bred in Washington – took up photography as a hobby following retirement and is a member of Gateshead Camera Club.

His striking images include shots of common whitethroat, nuthatch, great-spotted woodpecker and treecreeper; as well as a beautiful waxwing which was snapped on a Jarrow housing estate!

Waxwing

Lol’s mounted and framed photographs are for sale, costing £20-£25, with proceeds kindly going towards WWT’s Spoon-billed Sandpiper fund (http://www.wwt.org.uk/what-we-do/saving-wildlife/science-and-action/globally-threatened-species/spoon-billed-sandpiper/)
