New bird trail launched at Northumberland nature reserve

Northumberland Wildlife Trust has launched the trail as part of its campaign to keep everybody enjoying its flagship reserve whilst looking after their health and well-being.

Wildlife lovers of all ages can navigate their way around the reserve using a colourful downloadable guide whilst collecting clues, answering questions, learning more about the birds visiting the site, their birdsong and where they like to live.

There’s also a page on plants and insects to look out for whilst walking around.

It costs £3 and is available for download from www.nwt.org.uk/shop

There is no longer the need to book a time to visit the reserve, open Tuesday to Sunday from 10am to 4pm.

In June, funding from the National Lottery Emergency Fund allowed the Trust to introduce a number of safety measures including hand sanitising stations, contactless payment system and screens.
