Animal Magic at WWT Martin Mere

Families can get closer to exciting wildlife like meerkats, sea eagles, and skunks and experience a weekend of wildlife-related activities.  The much-anticipated event will be joined by local rescues and zoos showcasing everything from snails to guinea pigs for a fun family day out, including:

● National Exotics - animal rescue service, will bring everything from slimy snails to slippery snakes.
● Cheshire Falconry will showcase its beautiful birds of prey, such as the spectacular sea eagle
● Holmes Chapel Zoo will attend with meerkats, skunks, and a guinea pig petting area.

For those wanting to dive deeper and discover what lies beneath the water, pick up a net and get involved in the pond dipping sessions to find creatures such as the greater water boatman, pond skater, and newt.  Additionally, you can enjoy the award-winning canoe safari or guided boat tours to discover more of the reserve by water. 

Martin Mere will host birdwatching sessions for children in the Discovery Hide and bird-ringing demonstrations in Janet Kear Hide.  Their expert team will also deliver daily talks and feeds to learn more about species living at Martin Mere, including the asian short-clawed otters and longhorn cattle.
