A Visit to Washington Wetlands Centre

When I visited the Moorland Bird Hide to top up the feeders last week there was a guy had travelled all the way from Durham to photograph Siskins. I asked him the best place to watch birds in the north east as we were going to look after Hannah & Leo for a few days. He told me the Washington Wetland Centre was superb and my goodness he was right. It was excellent and we enjoyed a lovely day out here in pleasant weather.
Not sure what it is called but its a beautiful Duck 
A Black Swan already nesting
This pair had a lovely day and were excellent company
A Eurasian Crane and one of my favourites. A year ago we were watching Sandhill Cranes in Utah.          
These little Ducks in the foreground were very interesting as they regularly dived and when they did there was a huge amount of bubbles appeared on the surface. Hannah thinks they were farting.

Looks as though it's well worth a visit Gavin.
