wetland diary
This journal chronicles my trips to the London Wetland Centre, run by the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust (WWT).
The Wetland Journal will be back in autumn 2008.
The London Wetland Centre is situated next to the River Thames in Barnes, South West London (51°29' N, 0°14' W) [map]. It contains a wide range of habitats, from deep open water, to shallow ponds, reedbeds and wet woodland. There is plenty of activity all year round: hopefully this diary will give you a flavour, but nothing beats visiting for yourself.
