WWT Castle Espie houses Ireland's collection that is biggest of exotic and neighborhood birds, in addition to lots of outside adventure. Wings at the ready and off you go!Start the afternoon with unrivalled views of Strangford Lough through the Kingfisher Kitchen - which incidentally makes home that is yummy lunches and treats. Then take a turn around the Sustainability Trail. It's ideal for assisting young ones understand the essential problems of a wetland treatment system to your time and - ahem - compost bathroom!Kids can enjoy normal play parks and build dens, go pond dipping, balance across a rickety bridge or hop across the swamp stomp stepping stones. There's also a zip cable to whip down. The free play that is soft is an excellent way to provide smaller chicks time off the path. And the highlight needs to be the duckery where you could discover lots and in case you're fortunate, see some ducklings which are newborn! Additionally keep your eyes peeled for goldeneyes, red-breasted geese, nene and also the fantastically known as, Rosy Bills.
