Sedge Warbler

This old iron mine has been transformed by nature, with insects and wildflowers thriving on the leftover limestone and breeding terns bringing new life to the lagoon islands.

A great day out in Renfrewshire, with free entry to trails and birdwatching hides, plus fun activities for families. Our highly accessible nature reserve, visitor centre and shop are open daily, where you can buy refreshments, bird food, gifts and binoculars.

Follow the circular trail and loop around this wild wetland reserve. Small but beautiful, Surlingham is home to Bitterns, Kingfishers and lots of insects.

Adventures await at Conwy – a wetland wonderland where Starlings dance through the sky on winter afternoons, and orchids carpet the grassland in summer.

Walk the boardwalk path through the rustling reedbeds and settle into the hide to spot Otters, Kingfishers and Reed Buntings.

Explore a landscape transformed from gravel pit to nature’s paradise. Open water gives way to wet grasslands and reedbeds, meadows and woodland that teem with life.

Pull on your boots and explore the winding trails through this vibrant reserve, spotting birds and insects around the pools and canals.
