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 until 19:00 to give you the opportunity to see up to 40,000 pink footed geese whiffle over the mere as the autumn sun is setting.
It is free to enter the nature trail after 17:30 to watch this.
