A
warm overcast day in was the setting for the
first outing of the year at the wildfowl and
wetlands trust at Arundel. Most of us
arrived at 11.30 just in time for lunch,
except the mini bus who got held up. So with
tummies full we set off on our journey around
the lakes. We had bought some food for the
ducks to eat, and made it our mission to
feed every single bird, except the pigeons
of course.
Half way round there were a few
hides followed by a long wooden boardwalk
through the reed beds which was very
interesting and at the end a boat ride. The
boat could only take one wheelchair at a
time, but they have three boats, however
only one was running, which was a shame, as
some people didn’t have time to go on the
boat. Then we returned to the center for a
naughty but nice ice cream. A good day
indeed many thanks to the organisers.
