Enjoy a wonderful day out watching and learning about some of Wales's most exciting wildlife - and help WWT to protect it at the same time.
This 500 acre reserve is situated at the edge of the Burry inlet, which is acknowledged in Wales as the premier estuary for wildfowl and waders. The area is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), a Special Protection Area (SPA) and a Ramsar Site.
Of particular interest to the centre is the Little Egret - a resident bird that has
dramatically increased in numbers from 2 in 1995 to over 300 in 2005.
