Updates
We have been spoilt for choice this week with sightings! I have been out for walks and seen water rail, kingfishers and bearded tits and we have had some brilliant pictures sent in by people on twitter of otters and bittern. On top of all that going on our starling murmurations have really outdone themselves recently and will hopefully continue, if you haven't had a chance to pop down yet i would highly recommend it! and if you would like to share any photos with us you've taken at Newport Wetlands or Goldcliff Lagoons please tag @rspbnewport on twitter as we love to see what's going on.

Please note that we take our recent sightings list from the visitor sightings board that anyone can contribute to. This is great as everyone can get involved, but can lead to potential errors too as they aren’t always verified! We try to keep this list as accurate as possible but if you see something unusual feel free to comment here!
