This linear walk takes in many different habitats both rural and urban, so plenty of opportunities to fire-up iNaturalist and help us record a wide variety of species. The walk finishes with a chance to experience arguably the highest bird watching platform for miles on the Bridge’s high walkway with its magnificent views of Newport, the Valleys, Gwent Levels and then back across via the river gondola, one of only six still in operation!

As the sun rises why not join us for a very special wildlife experience to hear the magical dawn chorus at Newport Wetlands. This spectacle of sound will include not only the more familiar garden birds but also some of our star species. Listen out for a booming bittern or calling cuckoo and hear the difference between a reed warbler and reed bunting… it is well worth the early start.
This is an opportunity to visit the reserve before anyone else arrives and soak up the sound of spring birdsong. Our guides will be on hand to help with spotting wildlife along this exclusive walk. What better way to celebrate international dawn chorus day. |
