The centre closed its doors in October following government guidelines and has worked with the relevant government agencies to take measures to protect the birds at the centre.

However, visitors can still see wetland superstars such as the Japanese cranes, southern screamers, black swans, spur-winged geese, inca terns and the much-loved Asian short-clawed otters alongside other favourites.
The cafe and shop will be accessible and the wild reserve will open as usual with access to the reedbed walk and hides.
Nick Brooks, Centre Manager said: “We’re so happy to be open to the public once again, after what was a very difficult time for our team.

“Thankfully, we’re now able to welcome everyone back to enjoy the beauty of autumn at the wetland centre.”
Families will return to a range of activities this season, including GIANT LEGO® brick animals showcasing beautiful wetland animals such as a large North American River Otter, a Hawaiian Goose (the world’s rarest goose!), a giant Kingfisher, a frog, a flamingo, and much more.
