Whooper swan and wild bird feed at WWT Martin Mere

Join the wardens to watch this amazing spectacle as thousands of wild birds gather to feed outside the discovery hide and the Raines Observatory.   Hundreds of whooper swans join the feed whilst you listen to the warden's commentary, telling you all about these amazing birds and why they choose to spend the winter at Martin Mere.

There will be a daily guide in the discovery hide (at 14:00 and 15:00) to help you with identification and to tell you about the migratory species.  There is no need to book, just drop into the discovery hide.
