HUGE NEWS! 🦫😁

Massive congratulations to NT Wallington for making the pioneering move to become the first release site for beavers in #Northumberland . It was such a privilege and joy for us to have been invited to see those first steps onto land and water.

HUGE news! You can now livestream the intimate moments of a Kielder Osprey pair raising their chicks 🦅

We're back for another week celebrating our Geordie seafarers, the Tyne Kittiwakes!

Last year's TKW exhibition, events and discussions helped dispel a few myths about our summer visitors, and share intrigue around these #RedListed birds.

See you this year? 👇

This is happening on 2nd September!
