Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust is located on the edge of the River Severn estuary
and provides an ideal location to watch winter birdlife. There are a huge
number of resident birds within this 'avian Serengeti' including Flamingos, Red-Breasted
Geese and Mandarin Ducks, as well as many British species. | ![](/staticarchive/5ea3e7590d674d9be4582cc6f6c8e86070157686.gif) | ![Wetlands Index (Image: Barn Owl)](/staticarchive/651425ea793d0f716c3c15e88ec5c6c94125eec8.jpg) | The British Isles was once a wet, marshy place. Despite
the loss of many natural wetlands, they are still amazing places to enjoy the
natural world.
