Go quackers at
Christmas
.jpg)
JOIN the ducks and
‘go quackers’ at RSPB Burton Mere Wetlands, near Neston, as
the RSPB’s newest nature reserve gets ready for Christmas and lays
on a feast of festive family activities.
Once the Christmas holidays begin,
younger visitors will be able to follow a ‘Ducking and Diving’
quiz trail around the picturesque paths and make a tree
decoration that helps to feed the garden birds. Visitors can also
take part in a festive raffle.
The ‘Christmas Quackers’ event will be running from
Saturday, 17 December to Friday, 23 December 2011, from 10am until
3pm. The cost is free for RSPB members, otherwise the normal
admission price to the nature trails is just £6 for a family.
Visitors will also have the chance to learn about the different
types of ducks that come to the reserve for the winter, all in the
comfort of a fully accessible and heated building. Friendly RSPB
staff and volunteers will be around with telescopes to zoom in and
provide close-up views of the birds.
RSPB Burton Mere Wetlands is an important haven for thousands of
ducks and geese in the colder months and it is a fantastic
experience to watch them. Colourful teals, whistling wigeons and
elegant pintails are some of the wildfowl delights on show.
Paul Brady, Visitor Development Officer at RSPB Dee Estuary nature
reserves said that:- "Ducks are amazing birds, not only are
they extremely colourful but they fly hundreds of miles very quickly
to get here. With the Olympics on the horizon these birds are
definitely the Paula Radcliffe’s and Mo Farrah’s of the bird world."
To warm up, the reception building has a selection of hot drinks
available plus a seasonal selection of snacks. Christmas cards,
calendars and diaries will be on offer, so get that ‘feel good
factor’, as all the profits go to helping nature. For the
perfect present this Christmas then a special RSPB gift membership
can be bought for nature-loving friends and family.
Burton Mere Wetlands will be open every day over the holidays apart
from Boxing Day and the reception building is open from 9.30am until
4pm. RSPB Burton Mere Wetlands is off the A540 (Chester High
Road) and just 10 minutes from the M56. Follow the brown signposts
from the A540. The reserve entrance is on Puddington Lane, just
outside Burton village near to Bishop Wilson Primary School. The
reserve has a car park with cycle racks and there are toilets
available on site. For more information about RSPB
