This nene pair are the main characters of this group, obviously 👑 You may have noticed that our nene (also known as Hawaiian geese) have paired up as we prepare for the breeding season. Pairing is typically initiated by the male through courtship displays, which can include the male strutting to show off white under-tail feathers. If the female accepts, the pair will engage in a triumph ceremony. The male will aggressively push away any rivals and call loudly, which is then followed by the pair

Bittern chicks - a FIRST in reserve history! We're extremely excited to announce the hatching of seven bittern chicks for the first time in Martin Mere's recorded history. In an attempt to encourage a breeding pair to the reedbed, our reserve team completed works such as clearing scrub, cutting large areas of reed to create an area of different aged reeds and raising the water levels on the reedbed to allow fish to thrive so that the bitterns would have enough supply to feed their young.

112 whooper swans on the mere! 🦢 Lots of whooper swans arrived overnight from Iceland, with plenty of families including one with six cygnets. You can see which ones are younger due to their grey colouring. Listen to the sound - it actually sounds quite haunting! | WWT Martin Mere Wetland Centre

Our bird of the month is the perfect match for the upcoming Valentine's Day 💖 WWT Martin Mere is home to a pair of black swans, which perform synchronised head bobbing, honking noises, and if you’re lucky you will see their necks arch to create the famous heart shape. So, what better time to celebrate them for bird of the month than the month of looove!? This pair can be seen in our Weird or Wonderful section.

🔭 Martin Mere Latest Sightings 🔭 The cold snap has pushed more migratory wildfowl from the continent. Pochard numbers are up to 24 from single figures last month. We’ve seen great activity from birds of prey. We’ve had reports of a male hen harrier. This hen harrier was born in 2020, so hasn’t moulted into its full splendour yet. 18 of our regular marsh harriers were counted earlier this week. Other sightings include: * Whooper swan * Pink-footed geese * Kingfisher * Goldfinch * Greenfinch * G
