As summer hours drift by,

And fledglings start to roam,

Sun leaves its place on high,

And swallows head for home,

Then, autumn starts to stir,

And raises its weary head,

Painting colours in a blur,

Brown, orange, gold, and red.

Newport Wetlands is alive!

Plenty for schools to do,

Whether dancing the bumblebee jive,

Or checking for tracks and poo!

Dragonflies on final flights…

Are you ready for an adventure?  Are you curious about what happens to our wildlife when darkness falls?  There aren’t many ways to get closer to nature than by spending a night sleeping under the stars. There’s something pretty magical about being snuggled up in a sleeping bag in the pitch-black with just the night-time noises for company.

Here at RSPB Newport Wetlands the excitement is building for a wild…

You may have visited us during the daytime, when the butterflies are flying and the birds are singing. But what happens when we all go home? The night comes to life! Night time on the reserve is like entering a totally different world, animals that only come out during the night, such as bats, moths and foxes start appearing, and the stars and planets come out to play. Usually no one gets to see these, we’re all tucked…
