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.

Close alert

Cheeky bronze-winged ducks (video)!

Meet our gregarious, noisy, nibbly bronze-winged ducks – which we wouldn’t have any other way.
Quite difficult to film while stumbling backwards over your own feet; much better to see and be chased by them in person!

They’re also known as ‘spectacle ducks’, in a nod to their Latin name Speculanas specularis and because their white cheek patches resemble little glasses perched on their bills.

Click on the youtube link below to see them in action.
