Late Night Opening: Goose Spectacular at WWT Martin Mere

Witness the spectacle of tens of thousands of pink footed geese coming in to roost at Martin Mere.

Every Wednesday and Saturday in October, the Discovery Hide will be open to give you the opportunity to see pink footed geese whiffle over the mere as the autumn sun is setting.

Can't see them at dusk? Why not attend one of the Dawn Flight events instead?
