If you would like the amazing opportunity to see kingfishers (and all the other lovely wildlife at the reserve) before our opening times have a read of this:
Great shot by Malcolm Housden
Rye Meads nature reserve is opening early for 10 lucky people on Sunday 26 August from 7-10 am (although you don't have to leave at 10am, you can stay all day if you wanted!), this opportunity for RSPB members only (or join on the day) will give you exclusive use of the reserve, including all the hides.
The kingfishers at the Kingfisher Hide have hatched, so you should get stunning views as the adults are taking fish into the bank every ten minutes or so!
Ideal for early morning bird watchers, photographers and families!
RSPB members we love you! You make sure that the RSPB's work continues, so this opportunity is just for you, to say thank you!
Book early as there are only 10 spaces! This fabulous deal, which includes free tea and coffee, is only £30 per person! Book and pay in advance. We are sorry but we are unable to return your money in the event of cancellation or bad weather. If kingfisher activity changes I'll let you know!Due to the late notice of this event, if number are low we might not be able to run.
